Sicilian Walnuts in the Shell

Authentic crunch: natural Sicilian dried fruit

Straight from the island's orchards, these Monil variety walnuts contain a whole, intact kernel inside their protective shell, offering a balanced flavor and a high nutritional profile.

• 🌱 Pure Sicilian Origin: Grown and harvested in Sicily, these walnuts maintain their full aromatic profile thanks to storage in their natural shell, which protects them from oxidation without the need for treatments.
• 🧑🍳 Culinary Versatility: The crunchy texture and earthy note of the skin make them the perfect ingredient for adding body to a homemade pesto or for garnishing focaccias and risottos.
• ⚡ Natural Energy: Naturally rich in plant-based proteins and essential fats like Omega-3s, they are a pure functional snack, free of added sugars or preservatives.

Product Sheet

🍷 The Taste Ambassador's advice:

I have a golden tip for preserving the flavor and nutrients: only shell the walnuts right before you use them. The shell is a true natural safe that protects the delicate essential oils from going rancid. Also, if you need to use them to prepare homemade pesto or dress pasta, try toasting the shelled kernels in a pan over low heat for two minutes: the heat will release the toasted notes and make them incredibly crunchy.
