Production & Sourcing
Large walnut pieces are typically made through a process that starts with the harvesting of mature walnuts from walnut trees. After harvesting, the walnuts are carefully shelled to extract the edible kernel inside. The kernels are then broken or cut into large pieces, maintaining their natural shape. To enhance flavor and texture, the large walnut pieces may undergo a roasting process, where they are gently heated to bring out their natural oils and deepen their nutty profile.
