Diamond Foods

Portrait

Diamond Foods, based in Stockton, California, is deeply rooted in the tradition of walnut cultivation there. Farmers have been cultivating their plantations around the Golden State's Fruitbelt for generations.

Founded in 1912 by farming families, the company now produces a select range of nuts and nut raw materials - and impresses customers all over the world with its top quality. To keep it that way, Diamond Foods continuously invests in technologies such as cold storage facilities, state-of-the-art laser sorting and in-house laboratories.

In 2019, the company merged with National Pecan, one of the largest producers of pecans with over 4,000 hectares of its own cultivation area and more than 100 years of experience. Under the umbrella brand Diamond Foods, both companies now combine the greatest expertise, passion and experience.
