Vina
B tier
Vina is a California English walnut cultivar used in commercial orchards for kernel production and packing. Expect standard J. regia table character—brain-shaped halves, sweet-bitter oil richness, mild tannin from the pellicle—when the lot is fresh and cool- stored. Growers value orchard traits; cooks value clean flavour and colour. Use interchangeably with other English walnuts in baklava, brownies, salads, and sauces. Freeze what you will not use quickly. Light toast blooms aroma. Major tree-nut allergen rules apply. Sample before committing to large butter batches. Named Vina lots help traceability when buyers want California cultivar identity beyond generic “English walnut” bags.
