Why California Walnuts?  
   
Processing standards for walnuts differ from country to country. So some of the walnuts imported to Canada are better than others. California’s high growing and handling standards, coupled with the Central Valley region’s ideal growing conditions, result in walnuts that offer excellent taste and appearance every time.

When compared to the competition, California Walnuts are large, plump, tan in colour and have a mild sweet taste. They are stored in-shell under controlled temperatures for optimal shelf life, shipped upon demand and only cracked when ordered for the shelled market.
