Sliced Black Walnuts

Sliced black walnuts, ready to sprinkle

Sliced black walnuts from Fink's Delikatessen are green walnuts sliced and preserved in a spiced organic syrup. Conveniently portioned, they are ideal as a topping for cheese, salad, and dessert.

Sliced black walnuts are organic green walnuts that have been preserved and pre-sliced by Bettina Fink-Haberl. This saves you the trouble of slicing them yourself and ensures you get that dark, spicy flavor in every bite. It is the same delicacy as the whole walnut, just ready to serve. Black walnuts are among the house's most popular specialties, and in sliced form, they are especially perfect for everyday use.

Dark, spicy, and evenly distributed

The slices are deep black, tender, and infused with spiced syrup. Their dark color alone makes a striking impression on the plate.

The flavor is deep and spicy-sweet, with notes of cinnamon, clove, star anise, and vanilla, just like the whole black walnut. The sliced version simply distributes that spice more evenly across your plate. Dark, tender, and aromatic.

The slices are particularly advantageous when served on a cheese board or in a salad—everyone gets some in every bite, and nothing needs to be laboriously cut up. The uniform shape makes plating easy, turning this rarity into an everyday product.

As a topping for cheese, salad, and ice cream

In sliced form, black walnuts show off their practical side: no cutting, no fuss.

They are right at home as a topping on a green salad with goat cheese, on a cheese platter, served with game or cold cuts, or over vanilla ice cream. Because they are already sliced, you simply add one or two pieces and, voilà, you have a special detail on your plate in no time. They also make a dark, eye-catching addition to cream cheese on toast. They provide a refined, spicy accent to a piece of blue cheese or pâté, and in the autumn, they pair perfectly with pumpkin and chestnuts.

Prefer the whole walnut? Then try the whole black walnuts. Both are available in the specialties from Fink's Delikatessen collection.

A rarity made from green walnuts

The same traditional craftsmanship goes into these slices as the whole nuts; this process knows nothing of speed.

Young, green walnuts are picked before St. John's Day on June 24th, pierced, soaked for weeks, and aged in spiced syrup until they turn deep black. Only then are they sliced. The walnuts come from Styria, Burgenland, and Hungary. Several months pass from picking to the finished jar, with slicing being the final step.

Bettina Fink-Haberl, who founded her manufactory in 2002, turns them into an organic specialty by hand. Patience, quality walnuts, and a spicy syrup – nothing more is needed. You can taste the patience in every jar. You can find more from her kitchen in the full range of Fink's Delikatessen.

Using a clean fork to take them from the syrup

Once opened, it is best to store the jar in a cool place; the slices will keep for a long time in the syrup. This way, you’ll always have them on hand for your next cheese night.

The 280-milliliter jar contains about 120 grams of walnuts. Use a clean fork to remove the slices; the spiced syrup can also be used over ice cream or in desserts. These slices are a fine companion to port wine and strong cheeses. A jar that turns a simple cheese board into a conversation starter. Practical, dark, spicy, and always ready to surprise.
