Bouche de Betizac Spelling Variant
A tier
Bouche de Betizac without the accent is the same French hybrid cultivar lineage as Bouche de Bétizac—large-fruited orchard chestnut sold under simplified spelling in English-language lists and some trade documents. Treat sensory and kitchen expectations as identical to the accented name: big, sweet when cooked, bred for modern production. A good nut is heavy and even; a bad one is misgraded small fruit under a premium cultivar word. Use for roasting and whole-kernel cookery. When sourcing, accents may drop in databases without implying a different variety. Confirm with the nursery or packer if legal cultivar identity matters for a planting project; for cooking, flavour and freshness beat orthography.
