Sorrento walnuts history

They are one of the agri-food excellences of the Amalfi Coast area.

Their cultivation has its roots in the XNUMXth century, when the monks of the Convent of San Francesco began planting walnut trees in their gardens.

The area of ​​the Sorrento peninsula proved to be perfect for the cultivation of walnuts: the mild climate, the particular exposure of the land and the presence of the hills were all determining factors for the success of the cultivation.

Sorrento walnuts have an oval shape with a double shell and a delicate flavor. They are used in the kitchen in the preparation of desserts and traditional recipes, but are also appreciated as a healthy snack.

The production of Sorrento walnuts has suffered a decline over the years due to climate change and competition from foreign walnuts, but local farmers continue to enhance this precious excellence.
