We bought several products of "EMERALDNUTS" from Sams' Club and Costco. I like it very much. Here is the website you can visit: EMERALDNUTS


Another very good nut website is: Mama Mellace - Special gift nuts
Mama Mellace's began with its namesake, Raffaelina Mellace, an Italian immigrant who came to the U.S. from Calabria, Italy in 1962. Mama always said that a kitchen should be filled with the tastes and smells of home and we use these same principles to create products that proudly carry her name.

When customers experience Mama Mellace's Old World Treats, such as our signature Cinnamon Roasted Almonds or Butter Rum Almonds, they immediately taste the quality that is the Mama Mellace's difference.

As Mama Mellace would say, "You gonna like! it's-a good!"
