Sorrento walnuts: a Campania excellence

Sorrento walnuts represent one of Campania's most appreciated gastronomic excellences, known and esteemed for their superior quality and unmistakable taste. This variety of walnut, cultivated in the Sorrento peninsula and other neighbouring areas, benefits from the unique characteristics of the region's climate and soil, which give the fruit exceptional organoleptic properties.

Sorrento walnuts are distinguished by their elongated shape and thin skin, which makes them easy to break, as well as by their light-coloured kernel and delicate but strong flavour. Their taste is slightly sweet, with a buttery aftertaste and a crunchy texture, characteristics that make them particularly versatile both in cooking and for direct consumption. These nuts are rich in nutrients, including unsaturated fats, omega-3, vitamins and minerals, and are also appreciated for their health benefits, especially for the heart and nervous system.

In the Campania region's tradition, Sorrento walnuts feature in numerous recipes, both sweet and savoury. They are often used in confectionery preparations, such as in the famous ‘nocillo’, a traditional liqueur made with green walnuts, or in the ‘walnut cake’, a typical cake celebrating this fruit. But they also find ample space in savoury recipes, to enrich salads, pasta dishes or to be combined with local cheeses.

The cultivation of Sorrento walnuts has ancient roots, handed down from generation to generation, and still today local producers follow traditional methods of harvesting and processing to guarantee the quality of the product. Harvesting is done manually in the autumn, and then the walnuts are dried in the sun, thus preserving their flavour and nutritional properties.

Sorrento walnuts are not only a prized ingredient of Campania's cuisine, but also a symbol of the agricultural history of the Sorrento peninsula, a product deeply linked to the territory and its traditions, capable of bringing a piece of Campania's culture and gastronomic excellence to Italian and international tables.
