Taste and use

That's what makes these Andalusian pecans so special:

• Taste: Pecans are somewhat milder than tree nuts.
• Quality features: Thanks to the shell, the pecans stay fresh and are also beautiful to look at.
• Use: Pecans can be easily opened with a nutcracker and are easier to remove from the shell than tree nuts. They are a healthy snack for between meals or are suitable as a special topping for soups and salads.

Cultivation and ecology

This is how pecans are grown:

• Cultivation method: Organic farming. In addition to pecans, grapefruits, walnuts, pomegranates and other fruit trees also grow on the small farm.
• Producers: González Martín runs a small organic farm of 1.5 hectares in the Guadalhorce Valley in the province of Málaga together with his daughter and son. González is a member of Guadalhorce Ecológico, a cooperative that has joined Tierra y Libertad, our partner cooperative in Andalusia.
