People don't realize how wonderful a really fresh walnut can taste. Our Hollister Chandler walnuts have been CCOF (Certified Organic) for the past 8 years, We changed nothing ......but decided not to certify since 2007 ..............too expensive for our family farm.
Here's the secret that you should know.....Walnuts should be kept refrigerated, never frozen. There's an oil that escapes from a walnut once it is cracked. That's why the ones in the stores taste sooooo bitter and have that terrible after-bite that stings your throat. Walnuts that have been sitting on the shelf for months lose their flavor because the oil in the walnut turns rancid rather quickly. We keep our WALNUTS in cold storage at a constant 40 degrees & pack them as needed ensuring the best tasting walnuts. They'll last in your refrig for over six months and be perfectly fresh. Seriously!
We watch the cooks on television pull their walnuts right out of the freezer. Yikes! Don't believe it when they recommend freezing nuts & and then toasting them to bring back their flavor. The CotKing grows them and he knows----always refrigerate walnuts.
The "brain" nut is the best source of Omega 3's. They're excellent in salads, baking, and simply for munching. Our 2009 crack-out yielded lots of great tasting walnuts. Enjoy!
The best tasting apricot in the world (and the only one worth buying) is the Blenheim apricot. Our family has been growing the fabulous apricots since 1947 & we're positive there's no better apricot. Apricots are our specialty & ours are the best in the world.
