About ApricotKing
Since 1946, the Gonzales family has grown the rare and fabulous California Blenheim apricots. Grown on our Hollister ranch, we continue to be the farmer, pruner, dryer, packer, and seller of the vanishing Blenheim apricot. We produce the best tasting apricots in the world all "Home Grown in the Flavor Zone"!
In addition to our incredible dried apricots, be sure to discover our variety of nuts (walnuts, pistachios, almonds) and other dried fruits (peaches, pears, prunes, and more). For those who believe less is more, we have dark and delicious unsulfured dried apricots. And don't forget our sweet and tart selection of apricot jams and syrups as well as our decadent chocolate covered fruits and nuts. Simply delicious! Everything here on the ranch is organically grown.
Enjoy!

WALNUTS 2025 crop
Shaken off the trees in November, Cracked in December..........
They are truly the best walnuts ever.
(Everyone says they'll never eat the store bought ones again)
They are light halves & pieces, Chandler variety, clean, blond-colored, and
have a wonderful "no-bite" buttery flavor. 12 oz 1.75 lbs
The secret to good walnuts is to keep them refrigerated.
They will hold in the refrigerator (never the freezer) for a year.
New studies show people who eat nuts every day live longer, are healthier, and slimmer than those who don't eat nuts much or at all.
With that said, here's a little more help to really enjoy these heart-healthy goodies as we have the best premium walnuts around!!
**Our walnuts were certified organic until 2005...we've not changed our farming practices, just quit the certifying and paperwork fees that go with organic walnuts.

Wonderful walnuts
Posted by Patty Evans on May 18th 2020
There is no comparison to these walnuts. When I moved and could no longer get them at the Farmer's Market, I tried ones from the grocery store and some from Costco. Once you have roasted and tasted the walnuts from Apricot King, you can never go back. I discovered them online and now I am very happy again.
The thing is you don't know there is a difference until you eat them. When I was visiting my girlfriend in Baltimore, MD and wanted to toast some walnuts to break up and put on my beans or Ezekial cereal, she gave me the typical Diamond brand found in Safeway that she uses for her baking. No matter how I roasted them, they had absolutely no taste. It was just awful. When she visited me, I gave her some AK toasted walnuts and she was shocked by the difference. You will like these walnuts.

Very rich and consistent taste
Posted by JanA on May 13th 2020
This is my second purchase, and this time I bought the big bag, because these are wonderful walnuts - no hint of that bitterness that walnuts sometimes have, and every one in my first batch was perfect. I've been buying walnuts in bulk at my local natural foods store, which are better than many packaged ones, but they vary in quality and taste from batch to batch.
These are divine, and totally worth the extra effort and the shipping cost. Life is short - why not buy the best!

Delicious
Posted by Unknown on May 5th 2020
I live in New York and have been disappointed in the walnuts I’ve been buying. I’m not sure where they come from. I love apricots, so while on the apricot king website i saw that you also sell walnuts. I bought a bag and they are delicious. I’ve already purchased another three bags. I love the apricots as well. I am now a loyal customer.

Fresh, Crunchy but Tender
Posted by Robin Parker Meredith on Apr 22nd 2020
I have a big bag of these walnuts on hand all year. They are a great snack alone, paired with the apricots or prunes when I'm not adding them to cookie dough, scones, cakes and salads.

Best nuts!
Posted by Kathy on Apr 21st 2020
I've been purchasing almonds and walnuts from the Apricot King for years ever since I discovered them at the Moraga Farmers Market. These nuts are are so fresh, it's like they just came out of the shell. I have to keep one bag for baking as my husband will go through a bag a week. I was relieved to find them on line during the shelter in place and received a much welcome package a few days later.

Yum! Best walnuts ever.
Posted by Unknown on Apr 19th 2020
Your walnuts are always fresh. We have been ordering them from you as we run out, over about 3-4 years. They are never bitter or dried out, and they don't hurt my tongue as other walnuts we have tried over the years..We tried your chocolate covered walnuts last time we ordered - they are sooo good.
