French walnut kernels, Extra quality
These walnut kernels of French origin are selected in the Extra halves category, the top grade of walnut kernels. They consist predominantly of whole walnut halves, with a light and uniform colour and very few broken pieces. They are packaged under the Meyva brand in a 3 kg bucket. The Bucket Meyva - Extra Walnut Halves - Origin France - 3kg is designed for professionals seeking a product that offers both an attractive presentation and consistency in production. French origin is also a strong argument for traceability and local sourcing, increasingly expected by end consumers.

Benefits for your business
- Practical 3 kg bucket: the rigid container protects the kernels from impacts, limiting breakage during transport and storage. It is resealable after use, which is useful in prep kitchens and production workshops alike.
- Reduced waste: an Extra grade with very few broken pieces provides more usable halves for decoration, ensuring higher yields on visible preparations.
- Origin France: a concrete selling point for your menus, labels and marketing, particularly in traditional dining, artisan bakeries and local delicatessens.
- Supply consistency: a stable brand and reference ensure a consistent product from one order to the next, without recipe adjustments.
- Format suited to intermediate volumes: it covers the weekly requirements of a restaurant or bakery without tying up excess stock of a product sensitive to oxidation.
Storage
Rich in fats, walnuts are sensitive to heat, light and air, which accelerate rancidity. Store the bucket closed, in a cool and dry place, away from light and strong-smelling products. After opening, reseal the lid carefully after each use. A positive cold room extends freshness and preserves its mild taste. Refer to the date indicated on the packaging.
Usage advice
To reveal the aromas, lightly toast the kernels in the oven for a few minutes before incorporating them. Keep the finest halves for decoration and use any fragments in doughs, stuffings or sauces: you thereby maximise the value of the entire bucket.
