The only great nut born in North America.
Pecans grew wild along the river valleys of the American South long before they were ever cultivated. Today, carefully managed orchards in Georgia, Texas and New Mexico, the irrigated valleys of northern Mexico and the Northern Cape of South Africa produce the world's finest halves.
With harvests in both hemispheres, Orvion offers continuity across the year — and a careful choice of variety, colour and size so every half arrives looking exactly as your customers expect.
Caramel, maple and toasted butter.
From Mammoth halves to fine meal.
Halves are sized by count per pound under established USDA size classifications; colour and variety are selected to your specification.
