After hulling and drying it is quality-sorted and graded by size, and only then packed. This is the walnut at its most honest: you crack it yourself, at the moment you e... ### Walnut halves — butterfly (1/2) (Καρυδόψιχα πεταλούδα (1/2)) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/walnut-halves-butterfly - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/karydopsicha-petaloyda - SKU: KAR-HALF - Pack sizes: 250g · 500g · 1kg - In stock: yes - Summary: The flagship of any walnut grower. It is the most commercial part of the crop, partly for how it looks and partly for how hard it is to lift out of the shell in one piece. Eat it raw as an energy snack, use it to finish... ### Walnut quarters (1/4) (Καρυδόψιχα τέταρτο (1/4)) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/walnut-quarters - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/karydopsicha-tetarto - SKU: KAR-QUARTER - Pack sizes: 250g · 500g · 1kg - In stock: yes - Summary: The other half of the butterfly. Nutritionally identical, and often the one people actually reach for, because it costs less. It is the standard grade in pastry work, where the walnut goes into the dough rather than on t... ### Walnut pieces (1/8) (Καρυδόψιχα όγδοο (1/8)) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/walnut-pieces-eighths - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/karydopsicha-ogdoo - SKU: KAR-EIGHTH - Pack sizes: 250g · 500g · 1kg - In stock: yes - Summary: The crumb grade. Cheaper, just as nutritious, and mostly used in pastry work, as a salad garnish, or alongside a dessert. It is also the size that flavours a mixture most evenly, because it gets everywhere. For a karydop... ### Amber & dark walnut kernels (Καφέ & σκούρη καρυδόψιχα) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/amber-dark-walnut-kernels - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/karydopsicha-kafe-skoyra - SKU: KAR-DARK - Pack sizes: 250g · 500g · 1kg - In stock: yes - Summary: A darker kernel fetches a lower price. It should not — in our experience the amber kernel is the better-tasting one. The darkest grade needs particularly careful handling during processing. We sort it by hand to separate... ### Walnut butter (Βούτυρο καρυδιού) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/walnut-butter - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/voutyro-karydioy - SKU: KAR-BUTTER - Pack sizes: 200g · 400g - In stock: yes - Summary: Nut butters are still relatively new in Greece. Walnut butter in particular is something we thought about for a long time before we first made and sold it, in 2020. One ingredient: our own walnuts. No additives, no prese... ### Hazelnuts in shell (Φουντούκι με κέλυφος) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/hazelnuts-in-shell - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/foyntoyki-me-kelyfos - SKU: FOU-SHELL - Pack sizes: 250g · 500g · 1kg - In stock: yes - Summary: The raw material, as it is harvested and cleaned before cracking. It opens far more easily than a walnut and yields a high proportion of kernel. Varieties: Ennis as the main one, with Tonda di Giffoni, Romana, Lange and... ### Hazelnut kernels (Ψίχα φουντουκιού) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/hazelnut-kernels - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/psicha-foyntoykioy - SKU: FOU-KERNEL - Pack sizes: 250g · 500g · 1kg - In stock: yes - Summary: Full-flavoured and hard to stop eating, hazelnut kernels are at their best raw — particularly if you eat with your health in mind. Use them as a snack, in salads, in baking, or as a starting point for further work: if yo... ### Walnut & hazelnut shells (Τσόφλια καρυδιών & φουντουκιών) - URL: https://karydi.gr/en/product/walnut-hazelnut-shells-biomass - Greek URL: https://karydi.gr/el/product/tsoflia-karydion-foyntoykion - SKU: KAR-SHELLS-FUEL - Pack sizes: 5kg · 10kg · 25kg - In stock: yes - Summary: Nothing on this farm is waste.
