Walnuts, hazelnuts and prunes
In-shell and shelled walnuts
French walnuts are at the heart of our business: Grenoble PDO and the Franquette, Fernor and Lara varieties, in shell and shelled, from nets to big bags, also organic and fresh from the harvest. The range is completed by walnuts from Italy, Chile and Eastern Europe.
The Grenoble walnut was the first French fruit to obtain a designation of origin, in 1938, and is now a European PDO. It grows across Isère, Drôme and Savoie in the Franquette, Mayette and Parisienne varieties: the benchmark for buyers looking for an in-shell walnut of recognised quality.
Franquette is the historic variety: an elongated nut with a light, well-sealed shell and a light kernel with a sweet, delicate flavour and a hint of hazelnut; it keeps well. Fernor, more recent, gives a large, even nut with a light, tasty kernel. Lara is the largest: a round, good-looking nut with a sweet kernel, among the first to be harvested.
We supply French walnuts in shell and shelled, in every format: nets and sacks for the stall, cartons for shelled product and big bags for packers and processors. On request organic and, at the start of the season, fresh: just harvested and not dried, with a white, tender kernel, for a few weeks between September and October.
Alongside France we work with Italy, with Chile for in-shell walnuts, harvested in spring when the European season is over, and with Argentina and Eastern Europe for shelled walnuts: halves, quarters and pieces for re-packing and industry.
We follow the campaign from harvest to the last deliveries of the season, and every offer states variety, size, crop and packing.
Health Walnuts are rich in plant omega-3s: 30 g a day contributes to the improvement of the elasticity of blood vessels.
