Introduction

Our family embarked on an exciting mission and started planting walnut trees in 1999. The headquarters of our company and most of our plantations are located in North-Eastern Hungary, in the heart of the Zemplén Mountains. We are expanding our plantations year by year, which has now developed into the largest organic walnut farm in the country. We currently grow walnut trees on 180 hectares where we are cultivating a completely chemical-free organic farming.

Our farm is yearly inspected by Biokontroll Hungária Nonprofit Kft.

Most of our plantations grow on volcanic rock and on compacted soil, which is not ideal for rich harvest, but gives a special flavor for the fruit that can only be found here.
Our trees are made up of two main varieties: Alsószentiváni 117 and Milotai 10, one of the "stars" of noble walnuts. They really like the climate here, their fruit is beautiful and tasty and their oil content is also ideal.

Our main product is dried shelled walnut, which are exported, mainly to Germany and Italy, but last year they also appeared on the shelves of Auchan. The processing plant has a Global G.A.P certificate, which is a guarantee of quality.

Nuts are harvested in accordance with German requirements. After shaking and multiple washings, the raw nuts are sent to the drying towers within 48 hours at the latest. Thanks to gentle drying, we can reduce the moisture content to less than 7%. This is the key to nut processing.

Thanks to the quick drying, the nuts do not mold and the ripening processes stop in the kernel, so we can all year round supply the actors of the processing industry with high-quality goods.

In the recent years have we started dealing with nut cracking, our aim is to supply the domestic food processing industry with high and stable quality walnut kernel. The specially built nut processing plant was recently completed for this purpose, where we crack, sort, classify and pack the walnuts. Our current product range includes halves, quarters and eighths. After processing the walnuts are packed and placed in a cold store which is protected from light, which helps to preserve their freshness for a long time.

Our partners are quite diverse. There are also large companies among them (e.g. Szamos Marzipan, Prímapék), but we are very proud of the fact that we supply several Michelin-starred restaurants (e.g.: Borkonyha, Stand), renowned confectioners (e.g.: Mihályi Patisserie, Málna The Pastry Shop, Kollázs, Auguszt Cukrászda), as well as our customers with special needs (Mentes Cukrászüzem, Chez Dodo).

Our goal is to farm in the greatest possible harmony with nature and deliver the fruits of this as a stable and reliable partner throughout the world.

Our philosophy

Our philosophy is very simple: we try to work in harmony with nature.

Nature is an amazingly complex system that has perfected its functioning over millions of years. It is our duty to strive for its understanding, in which we can create a balance between man and nature. We are convinced that every living thing has a place in nature and is there for a good reason. By maintaining ecological stability, the number of pests in the plantation can still be tolerated, but in return remains a rich soil life and living community, which, in our view, might be able to protect itself in the long term. In this system, the role of the nearby forests is also very important, because the organisms living there can also affect the health of the plantations.
