Walnuts have long been a traditional product of our region. As well as vines at Domaine du Garinet there is an orchard which produces high quality walnuts for sale whole, for baking and occasionally for oil.
Baked products are freshly made for sale at Montcuq market on Sunday mornings, but are sometimes available from the freezer at the Domaine.
We sell our walnuts in the shell after careful selection from the best of the crop; supermarket nuts are no comparison.
Our quality walnut oil is pressed for us at a mill in the north of the Lot, using kernels shelled by us from our nuts. It is excellent in vinaigrette, and for dressing pasta or vegetables.
Our walnut bread, cakes and walnut-and-fig brownies are highly sought after at the market – come early to be sure they’re not sold out!
Plums for prunes
Prunes are no longer produced at Domaine du Garinet and so small quantities are bought in from a major local producer – in order to keep available the popular Prune Chutney and Favorite de Sophie
We make an excellent quince jelly from quinces grown on our property and we have an ‘alien’ product – marmalade - (no, we don’t have an orange grove - the oranges are bought from Seville!). The product supplies deprived English residents but also has a considerable following from French customers who really appreciate its qualities.
Prices are valid until 31 December 2025 and include VAT.
