Italian Walnuts

Our farmers

We support quality agriculture by sharing with our farmers the values we stand for: respect for people and for the land.

Among our producers of Italian Chandler walnuts in shell there is the farm CACI in Imola (BO). Sauro owes the passion for agriculture to his family. To us passion and respect for the territory are fundamental. For this reason we support local producers like Sauro, in that we offer the best Italian walnuts.

Sauro has been working for the farm CACI in Imola, where 33 hectares of walnut groves are cultivated. This is an ideal soil for the cultivation of walnut trees, because it has an excellent percentage of clay that allows good water retention, especially in summer and not in winter.

The harvesting of walnuts is mechanised: once it reaches maturity, the fruit falls to the ground in a natural way or by means of shaking machines. Then, with sweeping machines it is collected, loaded and taken to the processing centre, where it is washed, selected and finally dried.

Today production has increased considerably and Caci has opened a collaboration with Euro Company, investing in the production and cultivation of walnuts. The objective of Caci, in the next two years, is to add another 15 hectares of walnuts in the local land.

CACI is committed to maintain contact with the local community. Its products can be found in the local shop in Via Carpe, 8, Imola (BO).

Affordable price

For us, an affordable price means offering walnuts in shell that are accessible to everyone.

We select our producers based on our values to offer you only natural nuts and dried fruit with no added sugar (contains naturally occurring sugars). What’s more, by choosing larger pack sizes of walnuts in shell, you too are helping to reduce plastic use, as larger packs require less packaging per kilogramme of product than smaller ones. 

Storage

You can store Italian walnuts in shell in cool, dry places away from heat and moisture. Here are 2 useful tips:

• The ideal way to store Italian walnuts in shell is in a refrigerated environment. Nuturally Italian walnuts in shell can also be stored at room temperature during the winter season due to low temperatures. During summer, however, it is advisable to store in the refrigerator or in the coolest possible environment, as the increase in temperature could cause the decay of the products.
• The best kind of storage environment is one which is well ventilated because ventilating the premises keeps internal humidity, which can escape from the windows, under control, thereby guaranteeing the right balance to lessen the onset of mould.
