This item
Single-lot auction. Rare chilgoza — resinous, buttery, a true reserve nut.
The orchard story
Himalayan Chilgoza Pine Nuts is sourced from Kinnaur & Afghan pine forests. We buy lots the way a dry-fruit house should: by kernel size, oil bloom and moisture — never as a generic snack mix, never as a fruit salad or beverage.
Taste, texture & grade
Pine forest aroma, rich fat, tender bite. Every bag is cup-tasted against the previous harvest so the crunch you remember stays the crunch you receive.
How we handle it
Cracked from pine cones, winnowed, cold packed. Finished packs are nitrogen flushed and heat-sealed so essential oils do not turn. No bleaching, no chocolate coat, no syrup bath.
Store & serve
A small handful; also fold into gourmet pulao. After opening, keep the pouch rolled tight in a cool cupboard or the refrigerator. Avoid the kitchen steam zone.
