Franquette

A tier

Franquette is a classic French Juglans regia cultivar, especially associated with quality walnut districts such as Grenoble, valued for late leafing that helps dodge spring frost and for kernels suited to table use and aromatic oil. Flavour is refined English-walnut— sweet-bitter and rich—often sought by buyers who prefer French origin character over anonymous bulk mixes. Freshness still decides everything; old Franquette tastes of paint like any other stale walnut. Excellent for snacking, baking, salads, and cold-pressed oil. Freeze shelled stock. Light toasting suits cheese boards and pastry finishes. Major tree-nut allergen rules apply. Compared with high-yield California types, Franquette is a quality and climate-fit story as much as a crack-out race. Ask for harvest year on premium French lots.
