The short answer
There is no single price for every Greek walnut kernel. The final price depends on the product grade, quantity, packaging and the harvest currently available.
What determines the price of Greek walnut kernels?
Products that look similar at first glance may belong to different grades. A whole, light-coloured half is not the same grade as a quarter or a smaller piece. A useful comparison begins with a clear description of what each product contains.
Kernel grade
The proportion of whole halves, quarters and smaller pieces differs after each sorting run and affects the product grade.
Colour & consistency
Colour and visual consistency are separate characteristics of each grade and contribute to its final value.
Quantity & packaging
Retail packs, professional quantities and different packaging requirements affect the final cost in different ways.
Harvest & availability
Annual yield, the grades available and demand all influence price at a given time.
Origin
Clear Greek provenance and direct contact with the grower provide information that an anonymous product cannot.
The main walnut-kernel grades
Our range presents whole walnut halves, quarters and walnut pieces as separate products from the same Greek Chandler harvest.
Availability may change according to the harvest and the results of sorting. Enquiries therefore relate to a specific grade and quantity.
A fair comparison means the same grade, a similar quantity, clear origin and a clear picture of who produced it.
Why direct contact with the grower helps
You can ask about the variety, origin, available grade and current harvest. OnlyNuts grows Chandler walnuts in Elassona at an elevation of 500 metres. After cracking, we sort the kernels by hand.

Frequently asked questions
Why do walnut kernels not all have the same price?
Because grade, colour, consistency, quantity, packaging and availability vary from one product and harvest to another.
Do whole halves cost the same as walnut pieces?
Not necessarily. They are different grades with different availability and value in each harvest.
What information should I give the grower?
State the product and approximate quantity you need so the answer relates to the exact item you are comparing.
