Fresh Green Walnuts | Young Walnuts for Pickling, Preserves & Nocino

Our fresh green walnuts are harvested while they are still young and covered in their natural green husk, before the hard inner shell fully develops.

At this early stage, green walnuts are prized for their unique texture and distinctive flavor, making them especially suitable for traditional culinary preparations. Because our green walnuts are 100% natural and freshly harvested, their size, color and appearance may vary depending on the harvest stage.

Fresh green walnuts are a rare seasonal ingredient, available only for a limited time each year. Known across different culinary traditions, young green walnuts are commonly used for preserves, pickling, Nocino and other specialty preparations.

How to enjoy:

Fresh green walnuts are primarily enjoyed as a specialty culinary ingredient rather than as a mature walnut. Use them to prepare homemade green walnut preserves, pickled walnuts or Nocino, a traditional Italian walnut liqueur.

They can also be used in a variety of seasonal recipes, including sweet preserves, infusions, sauces and other artisan preparations.

Storage:

Fresh green walnuts are perishable and should be refrigerated immediately upon arrival.

Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Because they are a fresh agricultural product, the natural green husk may gradually darken after harvest.
