Serr

B tier

Serr is a California English walnut selection known in orchard circles for vigorous trees and commercial kernel production. In the kitchen it behaves as classic J. regia: rich, sweet-bitter meats under a tannic pellicle, excellent fresh in baking and savoury dishes. Freshness still rules—rancid Serr is simply rancid walnut. Crack, sort shell grit, freeze surplus, toast lightly when raw tannin is too sharp for salads. Major tree-nut allergen handling applies. Named Serr stock helps buyers who want California origin consistency rather than anonymous bulk mix. Compare colour and size with Chandler if your formula depends on pale halves. Use pieces for doughs and light halves for plated desserts when the grade allows.
