Production & Sourcing
The production of walnuts (medium pieces) begins with the harvesting of mature walnuts from walnut trees. Once harvested, the nuts are carefully hulled to extract the edible kernel. The kernels are then cut or broken into medium-sized pieces while maintaining their natural shape. To enhance their flavor and texture, the medium walnut pieces may undergo a roasting process, where they are gently heated to release their natural oils and intensify their nutty profile.
