Hacendado Nuez Natural

Hacendado Nuez Natural (Natural Walnuts) is a private label snack product sold exclusively by the Spanish supermarket chain Mercadona. The product consists of raw walnut kernels, marketed under their Hacendado brand which covers a vast range of pantry staples and snacks in Spain and Portugal.

While the brand is Spanish, the source of the walnuts can vary depending on the season and harvest quality, with the company sourcing primarily from local Spanish growers in regions like Castile-Leon or Extremadura, but also importing from California (USA) or Chile to ensure year-round supply.

The brand Hacendado is owned by Mercadona S.A., a family-owned grocery giant headquartered in Tavernes Blanques, Spain. Since its founding by the Roig family, it has become the dominant retailer in the Spanish market through a 'Total Quality' model that emphasizes strong partnerships with specific local manufacturers known as 'inter-suppliers'.
