Jean-Luc Fornoni, walnuts producer

 

Located in Vourey , 30 km northwest far away from Grenoble, the farm, property since 1809, is today mainly dedicated to walnuts production.

Formerly main activity in this part of Bas-Dauphiné, wine production is now preserved for domestic consumption.

The cultivated varieties are "Franquette" and "Mayette". The orchard suffars no chemical processing and nuts are mainly dried in a traditional way of trays, by the sun and the wind.

"La mondée" : It's the traditional Dauphiné farms' winter activity. It's the sorting of the hulled walnuts. The most beautiful are intended for the pastry and the others will be transformed into oil.
