Snow comes to New Mexico pinon country

Availability Update - Sales Have Stopped

Pinon nut gathering has come to an end.  The pinon available at this time is not up to our quality standards so we will not be selling pinon until the next harvest season (Fall 2009) unless we can locate good quality pinon nuts in the meantime.  We have a few pounds left to give to our joke contest winners only.


Pinon Is Scarce

All good things must come to an end

The quality of pinon currently available in the state is not up to our standards.  We will start selling authentic New Mexico Pinon Nuts if we can find good quality nuts, but we may not be selling again until the Fall of 2009 when the new harvest begins and fresh, tasty product is plentiful.

Please check back often for availability updates and/or email us to get on our notification list.


 
New Mexico Pinon Nuts

Authentic Flavor For Discriminating Tastes

New Mexico Pinon Nuts pouring out of the bowlThese are the pine nuts that everyone desires but are difficult to find because New Mexican Pinon (Piņon) are not farmed and the indiginous trees produce this famous variety in large quantities only every seven years.

Our pinon nuts are only harvested from the mountain forests of New Mexico where the pinon trees grow in abundance.  Other common names and mispellings of the New Mexico variety include pinyon, pinonnes and pinion.

Lightly Roasted with Only a Hint of Salt

Our pinon nuts are washed, sanitized, and sorted to remove debris and hollow shells. They are then slowly and evenly roasted, cleaned again and very lightly salted for that unique New Mexico pinon flavor (see below for information about additional roasting to your individual taste preferences).

We search for the best quality pine nuts available in the state of New Mexico.  If you know New Mexico pinon, you will love our product.

Important Distinctions About Pinon Nuts

Our pinon nuts are special because we only offer the hard-to-find New Mexico variety.  Pinon from other countries and other southwestern states just don't measure up to the flavor and quality of nuts that are harvested in the Land of Enchantment. 

Pinon from other Southwest states may be larger, but they also have more pine flavor rather than the buttery taste of New Mexico pinon.  If you are using pine nuts for cooking, we recommend buying less expensive imported, shelled varieties.
