The walnut
The walnut : a treasure under the shell
It is outside traditional regions that UNICOQUE has developed its walnut orchards around the LARA variety.
Characterized by its large size and the sweetness of its taste, it is attracting more and more consumers.
Like the KOKI hazelnut, it is mainly marketed whole. The LARA walnuts, as well as the FRANQUETTE and FERNOR varieties, together constitute the entire production of UNICOQUE walnuts. They are available for sale from the end of September.
Whether eaten dry, crushed or in kernels, eating a walnut is both a pleasure and a tradition. It invites itself daily to our dinner table.
Our constant partner
Part of the oilseed family, walnuts can be enjoyed on all occasions. They are consumed both plain or in combination with salty or sweet ingredients.
They are a fantastic source of Omega 3 fatty acid.
To keep their freshness and nutritional content, walnuts should be stored in a cool, dry environment
