The production of Walnuts
Pépinoix cultivates 60 hectares of sustainably farmed orchards in the heart of the area of the Grenoble Walnut protected designation of origin in the town of Poliénas in Isère. Our walnut production is GlobalG.A.P. certified, a guarantee of environmentally and people friendly agriculture.

Once the product is harvested, it is stored and packaged upon request. We attach great importance to the satisfaction of our customers; responsiveness and on-time deliveries are our strengths. We are certified to sell Organic walnuts.
