User Guide: How to Enjoy Villasinde Walnuts
The Villasinde Walnuts are much more than a nut. Grown in the high areas of Bierzo, the mountain climate of this locality gives them a distinctive flavour and a crunchy texture that makes them a true local "superfood."
1. Storage: Keep their freshness and natural oil
Villasinde walnuts are rich in healthy fatty acids (Omega-3), which can oxidise if not properly cared for:
Cool place: Always store them in a dark, cool, and dry place.
In the fridge: If you buy a large quantity, you can store them in an airtight jar in the fridge. The cold helps prevent their natural oils from going rancid and keeps that "mountain" flavour for months.
With or without shell: We recommend keeping them in their shell until consumption to protect all their antioxidant properties.
