Our walnuts come from Hollister, California, an area I’m convinced produces the best-tasting walnuts in the world.
Try using them in place of expensive pine nuts the next time you make pesto. A substitute that I think is just as good and far less costly. They’re terrific in cereals, trail mixes, salads and more.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy walnuts is eating them with a nice fresh apple!
