Trader Joe's Shelled Walnuts

Trader Joe's shelled walnuts are a natural snack produced in Chile, as indicated by the 'Origen: Chile' label. Although the brand 'Trader Joe's' is famously associated with a US-based grocery chain, in certain markets like Spain, the brand name is utilized by ALDI Nord.

The brand originated in California, USA, founded by Joe Coulombe in 1967. However, the ownership structure is unique: the US Trader Joe's company and the European entities using the name are owned by the Albrecht family (specifically through the ALDI Nord branch). In Spain, where this specific product is found, it is managed by Aldi Supermercados S.L., ensuring that the quality remains consistent with the global brand identity while sourcing raw materials from premium growing regions like Chile.
