The walnut enjoys the Lot region.
It is here at home and we find it everywhere. Not a village, not a field on the Causse, the Dordogne valley or the Limargue, without quantities of these beautiful trees with large leaves …
Walnuts are the richness of the valleys and hillsides of our department.
Crumbled in a salad, hidden in the heart of the cakes, highlighted by dark and melting chocolate which enhances its warm and full-bodied flavor … Fresh or dry, in shell or in kernels, it will flatter your palate.
Derived from this fruit, walnut oil and walnut water which is one of the traditional alcohols with plum and ratafia.
Walnut oil making demonstrations are organized every summer weekend at Hôpital Saint Jean (1km from the gîte) at “Le Moulin d’Antoine”.
