Nuts
Ohio
B tier
Ohio black walnut stock reflects Midwestern orchard and cracking country where the nut is a regional flavour identity. Expect bold, dark-pellicle meats suited to fudge and ice cream more than delicate European pastries. Named Ohio lots should still be judged by aroma—paint notes mean the oil failed regardless of origin pride. Freeze for quality. Tree-nut allergen.
