Ronde de Montignac

B tier

Ronde de Montignac is a French English walnut cultivar named for its rounded nut form and Montignac association, valued in French orchard and table culture. Kernels offer classic sweet-bitter J. regia richness suited to snacking, baking, and regional oil. Fresh lots should smell clean and nutty; oxidised lots fail the same test as any other walnut. Use light halves for cheese boards and desserts; pieces for pastry doughs. Freeze shelled stock. Light toast blooms aroma without bitterness if you stay pale gold. Major tree-nut allergen handling applies. Buyers seeking French character may prefer named types like this over anonymous mixes. Cool storage protects the polyunsaturated oils that make the nut fragile.
