Cerez Pazari World Famous Mediterranean Turkish Pine Nuts, Premium Quality Cam Fistigi, Unsalted Pine Nuts, Natural, Raw, Non-GMO, Resealable Bag, 4 oz.

These pine nuts are the real thing, nutty and full of flavor. They are a bit pricey, but worth it. I ordered another bag the day after I first tasted them, just in case the company goes out of business.

Cerez Pazari nut is a true Mediterranean grown nut. This product is a true pinus pinea pine nut from Mediterranean region. It is not a Chinese grown/processed nut. The flavor is spot on. Chinese pine nuts pinus armandii have a bad reputation for a reason....google it and learn. A boatload of sellers claim their product is not a Chinese nut when indeed they are Chinese.

Not what I expected! Very soft and no taste at all

Good flavor!

Basically, good product, but not as fresh as previously.

These are real Mediterranean pine nuts, not the East Asian kind, so less likely to have the metallic aftertaste that some experience with the latter. People who say they are "soft" perhaps they don't understand that these are fresh, raw nuts, and this is what they are supposed to be like. You can toast them if you like a bit more crunch. That said, the latest batch I tried was a little bland in flavor. I am sure this varies and it is not under the seller's control. The price is in line with other sellers for this kind of product, and cheaper than high-end supermarkets. If you want to spend less, try the Asian pine nuts (they are a bit triangular in shape and flat, as opposed to oblong as these): if they don't taste metallic to you, you can save a bunch just buying those.

These pinenuts were large and tasty. I got pinenuts while on a trip to Lebanon several years ago. These are a close second. They look just like they are pictured. I wish I had taken a picture compared to the ones I got at the local grocery store. Pricey, but for the meat pies I made they made the difference in taste. I will buy again.

Fresh and tasty cooked or not
