Fratelli Formica | Sicilian Shelled Walnuts - 200g

Fratelli Formica’s raw, shelled walnuts embody the authentic taste and tradition of southern Italy, offering a rich, buttery flavor with a delicate crunch. Primarily sourced from Sicily, but also from the Calabria and Avellino areas (Campania), these walnuts reflect the growing demand for sustainably produced, local ingredients. While Sicily has not historically been a major walnut producer, its walnut cultivation has been steadily increasing over the last decade as consumers seek high-quality, ethically grown alternatives to imported nuts.

One of the greatest advantages of Sicilian walnuts is their natural resilience. Like hazelnuts, pistachios, and almonds, walnuts are hardy crops that adapt well to different climates, particularly in hilly terrains where they thrive with minimal intervention. The warm Mediterranean climate of southern Italy naturally reduces the risk of pests and diseases, significantly limiting the need for chemical treatments. This low-impact cultivation ensures a product that is both flavorful and environmentally friendly, aligning with the growing preference for sustainable, chemical-free agriculture.

With a heritage rooted in Buccheri, Sicily, Fratelli Formica has long specialized in premium dried fruits, nuts, and seeds, maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality and tradition. Their walnuts are carefully selected and minimally processed, preserving their full-bodied taste and nutritional value

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and essential minerals, these walnuts are a nutritional powerhouse, supporting heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. Their versatility makes them a staple in both sweet and savory dishes—perfect for baking, salads, granola, or simply enjoyed on their own.

Perfectly suited for both sweet and savory recipes, these walnuts are a versatile kitchen staple—whether baked into cakes and breads, tossed into salads, blended into nut butter, or enjoyed straight from the bag. With their uncompromising quality, sustainable cultivation, and naturally rich flavor, Fratelli Formica’s walnuts offer a true taste of Sicilian excellence, bringing pure, wholesome goodness to every dish.

CONCERNING THE WINE SECTION :

Understanding Our Wine Quality Process: We carefully select and taste each wine with Rocket Wine to ensure it meets our standards and matches the detailed descriptions on our webshop. However, we recognize that every palate is unique, and sometimes a wine may not align with your expectations.

If you suspect that your wine is corked or doesn't taste as it should, we're here to support you. We kindly ask that you bring the bottle to our, or Rocket Wine location. This allows us to taste the wine and accurately determine the issue, as this is the most effective method to assess these particular concerns.

That's why we invite you to bring in any wine you feel is not up to standard. Please note that for a refund or exchange, the bottle should have more than 50cl remaining.
