The Hacienda Las Palma has a long tradition and has been continuously owned by the Haeussler family since 1896. Here in central Chile, nestled in the mountains of the coastal region, the first walnut tree was planted in 1995, laying the foundation stone for the Calbu company. 13 years later, in 2008, the company sold its own harvest abroad for the first time.
Today, Calbu processes the walnut harvests of 90 farmers and employs up to 450 people during the harvest season. Calbu processes 50% of the harvest into walnut halves and is the largest producer of hand-cracked walnuts in Chile with 1600MT. By opening the shells by hand, Calbu's walnuts achieve an exceptional quality.
