Walnuts in shell

The enveloping mystery of Walnuts in the shell: a treasure chest of virtues for our well-being

Walnuts stand as one of the most delicious gems among the dried fruits loved by Italian hearts. Originating from the walnut tree, their roots are intertwined with the lands of the Middle East, and although their harvest dances in December, their presence reverberates brightly throughout every season.

These hidden treasures are embellished with Omega-3s, polyunsaturated acids, protein, essential carbohydrates, fiber and an arsenal of minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium, enriched by the balm of vitamin E. Thanks to such gifts, nuts prove to be an extraordinary ingredient capable of enchanting not only kitchens but also our bodies.

Why choose our variety of nuts?

The walnut shells we grow in our magical garden come from the neighboring region of Campania. They are the in-shell nuts of Sorrento, the finest on the Sorrento Peninsula. Their shell, with a light brown tone, shatters easily, revealing an intact heart. The bite reveals a crisp and enveloping kernel, not very greasy on the palate but rich in sweetness.

How to store nuts?

To preserve the enchantment of in-shell walnuts for long months, we recommend that you place them in a wicker basket, airtight glass container or cotton bag. Crucial is that they rest in a cool, dry place, away from any moisture. Finally, it is advisable to check them from time to time to make sure that no buds have lost their luster or been tarnished by insects or pests. Diseased nuts should be separated from their fellows to preserve their spell.

How to taste such wonders?

Like fabulous almonds, walnuts are a favorite satiating morsel for those who guard their well-being. They can be enjoyed alone or paired with yogurt and salads. For those seeking more savory delights, our culinary tradition holds countless enchantments. From appetizer to dessert, walnuts dance in perfect harmony with every dish. However, there is a dish forgotten by many, kept in the heart of Tuscia: pasta (or macaroni) with walnuts. This timbale of dough, topped with walnuts, chocolate, sugar, and cinnamon, is offered at Christmas parties, each hamlet in the area guarding its own variation of this local enchantment. One more reason to explore the lands of Tuscia!
