Storing walnuts in shell
The shell protects the kernel, but walnuts still need a cool, dry room. Store sacks at 5 to 10 °C and up to 65% relative humidity, on pallets rather than the floor, with good ventilation. Moisture brings mould and heat turns the kernel rancid. Stored well, walnuts in shell keep much longer than kernels.
Frequently asked questions
When does the new crop arrive?
Greek walnuts are harvested from late September into October. New crop walnuts are available after drying, usually from October.
Are they washed?
Yes, the walnuts are washed, with a clean and light coloured shell, ready for loose sale or packing.
How do I check the quality?
Crack a few nuts from different parts of the sack. The kernel should fill the shell, be light in colour and show no mould or rancid smell.
