Here are a few of our favourites from Uncle Joe's recipes. As lovers of nuts, we use our products in everything and experiment daily with new ideas. If you have tried anything delicious, send in the recipe and we'll put it on our website.

The Horwell orchard

Uncle Joe’s cracks hazelnuts and walnuts daily, fresh to order, and is proud to distribute our award winning quality products around New Zealand. We partner with a cold pressing company and have developed a range of seed oils to add alongside our nut oils. All nuts and seeds are 100% New Zealand grown, 100% natural with no added products and cold pressed for their oils.

We offer a big selection of seed oils including Coriander, Kiwifruit, Mustard, Flax, Grape,Pumpkin, Blackcurrant and Hemp. These have been very popular in gluten free foods and in cosmetics. We also mill the pellets of these nut and seed oil pressings to produce fine flours that add a variety of flavours to the gluten free market

Uncle Joe's family business is situated on the outskirts of Blenheim, Marlborough - a region with a rich resource of deep alluvial, free draining soils on the Wairau plains. The walnut trees around Marlborough are a landmark left by past generations of settlers who planted these nut trees with great vision. These old walnut giants produce a range of kernel varieties which are the key to some unique flavours enjoyed in our products. We grow an Ennis variety of hazelnut in our orchard. Ennis is not widely grown in New Zealand, but we chose it for its rich flavour.
