No 405 Moldovan walnut

The neighboring peoples with Romance roots were called Welschen by the Germans. They had brought this into contact with the walnut, which they gave the name "Welschnuss" to distinguish it from the local hazelnut, from which the German name "walnut" goes back. The walnut tree rightly bears the Latin epithet "regia" for "royal", as it is a true miracle tree: its leaves are used as a traditional herbal medicine for baths and poultices due to their tannin content, the green walnut shells are also used to make liqueur and as a Hair dyes, the cold-pressed oil of its kernels is used in the kitchen and cosmetics industry, and last but not least, the delicious walnut kernels are enjoyed as a versatile and healthy food. In the fertile black soil of Moldova, walnut trees thrive and adorn the landscapes in almost endless walnut avenues. From there we sourced the organic walnuts for our special walnut spirit, whose flavors are based on various aliphatic alcohols and aldehydes that result from the oxidative breakdown of the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in the walnuts. We recommend it for pure enjoyment, for salad dressings and desserts or for mixing.
