About us
The California Walnut Board and Commission proudly represent the interests of over 4,600 dedicated growers and approximately 70 handlers, who produce more than 99% of the U.S. supply of English walnuts and contribute to nearly half of the world’s walnut trade. Our mission is simple: to share the exceptional quality, sustainability and benefits of California-grown walnuts with the world. We support the growth of the walnut industry through innovative research, marketing initiatives and adherence to the highest production standards. We engage and educate consumers about walnuts through TV, print and digital ads, as well as public relations activities and educational programs. Both domestically and in export markets, our marketing activities educate consumers, the trade and health professionals on the benefits of California walnuts. For food and beverage manufacturers, California walnuts provide a premium, plant-based ingredient that enhances the nutrition, taste and market appeal of packaged foods. As a source of alpha-linolenic acid omega-3s, walnuts are the ideal choice for companies looking to meet growing consumer demand for clean-label and sustainable ingredients. From snacks to baked goods, to plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, California walnuts deliver unmatched versatility and value to packaged foods and restaurant menus. We’re passionate about helping food manufacturers and foodservice operators bring innovative walnut-based products and menu items to life. From concept to market, we’re here to provide the knowledge, resources and support needed to turn ideas into reality—empowering you to meet emerging trends and consumer needs.

Last night's California Walnut Board dinner was a delightful celebration of the harvest season. As a Chef in Residence, we enjoyed a fantastic menu at Preserve Restaurant, showcasing the versatility of walnuts in every dish, from smoked salmon with walnut puree to the decadent chocolate pot de crème. Each course highlighted why walnuts are such a beloved ingredient. Grateful for the opportunity to promote and celebrate this amazing crop! 🌰 #CaliforniaWalnuts #WalnutBoard #Preserve #ChefDanhi #Walnuts Thank you California Walnut Board & Commission ! 🙏 Jon Dubrik, Jeff Haines CEC ACE, Ted Kwiecien, Daniel Rios, Dede SAMPSON, Ben W., Robert Verloop, Jennifer Olmstead, Christine Lott, Chef Rebecca Peizer CEC CHE,

They identified 4 priorities to maintain momentum in the plant-based space: 1️⃣ Protein Power 2️⃣ Taste Triumph 3️⃣ Kids-As-Catalyst 4️⃣ Clean Label All important attributes, and all things walnuts deliver as a plant-based ingredient.
