At night, hazelnut and almond are dried fruits rich in taste and history. Their cultivation requires patience, know-how and respect for the cycle of the seasons.

The nut grows on majestic walnut trees, often planted in well-drained soils, where it ripens slowly until it is harvested in the fall. The hazelnut, more discreet, is produced by the hazelnut tree, a hardy tree that appreciates temperate climates. As for the almond, it comes from the almond tree, a Mediterranean tree that blooms at the end of winter, offering a delicate spectacle before giving its nuts. These crops, often family or cooperative, promote methods that respect the environment and the terroir, to offer authentic, nutritious and tasty products.

Walnuts
A noble dried fruit of controlled origin

Recognized by an AOP since 1938, the Grenoble walnut is much more than a dried fruit: it is a local product with a strong identity, grown in the Alpine valleys of Isère. At Les Jumelles Huot, this walnut is selected for its subtle balance between crunch, sweetness and character, and for the natural finesse of its flesh.

Each variety reveals a unique aromatic personality, adapted to the requirements of traditional circuits as well as the most advanced gastronomic applications. Thanks to our specific expertise in the processing of this fragile fruit, we deliver a healthy, naturally tasty nut, perfectly suited to consumption as a fresh or as a valued ingredient (bakery, pastry, cheese, etc.).

Hazelnuts
A round and generous dried fruit

Grown on sunny slopes, hazelnuts reveal a singular taste identity: a perfect balance between crunch, sweetness and aromatic intensity. The hazelnut of our terroirs seduces as much by its freshness, its natural oil content, and its delicate toasted notes that are fully expressed during cooking.

A hardy species perfectly adapted to our climate, it offers excellent stability in processing and versatility appreciated by craftsmen and industrialists alike: pralines, pastes, powders, chips, or simply whole, in healthy and gourmet snacking.

Chestnut
A dried fruit with a comforting taste

The chestnut is an emblematic fruit of our terroirs. It is harvested when ripe, then rigorously selected for its natural taste qualities: a melting, slightly sweet flesh, with sweet and woody notes, typical of the best local varieties.

This ancient fruit is now experiencing a strong comeback in the modern diet. Available in whole fruit, puree, broken or flour, the chestnut seduces by its nutritional value, its absence of gluten, and its culinary versatility, both in savory dishes (stuffing, veloutés, roasted vegetables) and in desserts (cakes, cream, confectionery).
