Our raw & green, unripe walnuts are certified organic by CCOF/USDA. Five pounds of these beautiful green gems can be used to make a large double batch of Nocino (walnut liqueur), delicious chutneys, jams, and even for pickling. 

Their inner shells haven't fully hardened, allowing the walnut to be sliced through. It will sometimes take a little more force (due to its larger size and the growth cycle), but your effort will be worth it. The walnut meat is clear and jelly-like at this time during its growth cycle. 

• Green Walnuts are estimated to ship beginning in late May/June 2026.
• SM size ship first. REG size to ship following.
• All orders ship chronologically via USPS Priority from the order date.
• If using our green walnuts for eating, please select our smaller option, as we pick these in late May, early June, so you receive large, "olive-sized" walnuts
• If you're crafting Nocino, we'll pick when they're a bit larger to maximize walnut flavor/infusion. 
• Preorders canceled after May 1, 2026, are subject to a 30% cancellation fee.
• PLEASE NOTE: Our Organic Green Walnuts require a dedicated shipment and cannot be combined with additional items. If you wish to order more goodies, please place those items as a separate order. 

NOW OFFERING: Our Organic Spice Kit makes one double batch of Nocino (5lbs) for just $12! 

Spice Kit includes: juniper berries*, cinnamon sticks*, cloves*, vanilla beans*, coffee beans*. (all organic*) Fresh strips of orange/lemon zest/peel should be acquired locally. 

Please note that, as Mother Nature ultimately determines when our actual green walnut harvest occurs, the posted estimated release date is our best "guesstimate." After you place your order, we will email you in mid-May with an update on how the walnuts are progressing and when we plan to harvest/ship each size.

WAITLIST ORDERS (TBD)

HOW TO STORE & USE GREEN WALNUTS

Our organic green walnuts should be opened right away to breathe, then used in the desired recipe within 24-48 hours of receipt. Please place in the refrigerator to maintain freshness until use. Green walnuts may show signs of light oxidation, so you may see a few small dark spots appear on the green outer husk, as well as a little skin dehydration. This is normal. Rinse with water only and let dry before use. 

When making Nocino, they can be halved by carefully notching the skin and then tapping them with a cleaver or heavy chef's knife. If you'd like to keep your hands stain-free, we recommend wearing gloves when handling green walnuts, as the tannins in the walnut husk are a natural dye that can stain your skin. 

NOCINO RECIPE 

GREEN WALNUTS USES & HISTORY

Today, many people use green walnuts to make Nocino, a traditional Italian liqueur, during the Summer Solstice. Nocino traces its roots to the Celts and was brought into Italy by monks.

When pickled or candied, walnuts are an excellent addition to cold meats and cheeses. During the Sixteenth century, Englishmen and women used them for jamming and pickling, while in the Middle East, they were preserved in sweetened, aromatic syrups.
