Amigo

B tier

Amigo is a California English walnut often planted as a pollenizer in commercial orchards while still producing usable table kernels. Flavour matches the mild, sweet-bitter J. regia family when stock is fresh and cool-stored. Retail bags may not always print the pollenizer name, but named lots help growers and specialty buyers track orchard composition. Use shelled Amigo like other English walnuts in baking and snacks. Freeze surplus. Light toast softens pellicle edge. Major tree-nut allergen rules apply. Do not expect a unique candy-like profile—expect clean walnut character judged by harvest year. Sort out dark or shrivelled pieces before they enter paste or flour.
