Production & Sourcing
Initially, the walnuts are harvested and cracked open to reveal the nutmeat inside. The nutmeats are then separated from the shells and sorted based on size and quality. To create halves and pieces, the nutmeats are precisely cut or broken into smaller segments, resulting in a mix of both larger halves and smaller pieces.
