The P\u00e9rigord Walnut, a fruit rooted in tradition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walnuts have shaped the Dordogne landscape for centuries. Today, they benefit from the PDO label \u201cNoix du P\u00e9rigord\u201d<\/strong>, a Protected Designation of Origin that guarantees quality, authentic local cultivation, and savoir-faire passed down through generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The harvest takes place in September and October. Some prefer them fresh \u2013 crunchy and delicate \u2013 while others wait until they are dried to enjoy them all winter long. And then there\u2019s the famous P\u00e9rigord walnut oil<\/strong>, with its unique nutty flavor, still used to dress hearty \u201csalade p\u00e9rigourdine\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
