Pine Nuts

Pine Nuts – Delicate Flavor, Premium Texture & Mediterranean Excellence

Product Overview

Pine Nuts (Pinus pinea) are one of the world’s most exclusive and valuable nuts, cherished for their buttery flavor, tender texture, and high nutritional value. Naturally rich in healthy fats, protein, and minerals, they are essential ingredients in gourmet cuisine, bakery, confectionery, and pesto production. Their mild sweetness and refined aroma make them a hallmark of Mediterranean gastronomy.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Pine Nuts sourced primarily from Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean regions, known for producing top-grade Mediterranean Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) kernels. We also offer reliable alternatives from China (Pinus koraiensis) and Pakistan (Chilgoza type) for different market preferences. Each batch is carefully processed, shelled, and graded to ensure purity, freshness, and uniform color.
