PÉRIGORD WALNUTS AOP

Origin: France

Noix Du Périgord AOP 

These exceptional large-calibre walnuts hold prestigious AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) status, guaranteeing their authenticity and superior quality. Grown exclusively in the Dordogne region of southwestern France, an area renowned worldwide for its walnut production and synonymous with French haute cuisine, these nuts represent the pinnacle of walnut excellence.

Beyond their impressive large size, Noix Du Périgord AOP walnuts are distinguished by their exceptional eating quality. Upon cracking the shell, you'll discover remarkably creamy, flavourful nutmeats with a rich, buttery texture that sets them apart from standard varieties. The protected designation ensures these walnuts are cultivated using traditional methods in the optimal terroir of the Périgord region.

These premium walnuts are perfect for eating fresh as a luxurious snack, where their creamy texture and complex flavour can be fully appreciated. They also excel in culinary applications, particularly when tossed in a pan with foaming butter and demerara sugar to create the ultimate caramelised nut topping. This simple preparation transforms them into an elegant garnish for salads or a sophisticated accompaniment to roasted peaches and other seasonal fruits.

Their superior quality makes them ideal for incorporating into both sweet and savoury dishes, from traditional French walnut tarts and confections to modern cuisine, where their rich, creamy texture adds depth and sophistication.

Walnuts offer exceptional nutritional value that distinguishes them from other tree nuts. Regular consumption provides an excellent source of high-quality protein, beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibre, essential vitamins, and important minerals. Most notably, walnuts are particularly rich in omega-3 fatty acids and powerful antioxidants, making them valuable for maintaining optimal health whilst enjoying their exceptional taste.
