We work hard to make nut rolls that taste like the ones our Bubba made!
This item has optional raisins added. Our standard roll does not have raisins.
Our rich, creamy walnut filling is made from scratch for each bake. To ensure we start with the best walnuts, we deal with one of the oldest family-owned walnut producers in the industry. We get our freshly shelled, California-grown English walnuts shipped directly to us so we know they are fresh, not old stock from some warehouse. Similar to ground coffee, ground walnuts also lose their freshness quickly, so we grind the walnuts when they are being made into filling. Like Bubba's, our filling uses so many walnuts that we ultimately put more walnuts in each roll than any other ingredient! That is only possible because, unlike most every other commercial roll we've tried (and some homemade ones!), each and every roll is made with more filling than dough.
Speaking of dough, just as you'd expect we have to wake up early to start making it. All of our dough is made with a special-milled unbleached, unbromated flour. We use fresh, liquid milk (not powder!) and local eggs (not canned, cartoned, or frozen ones). We also use Trans-fat free, non-hydrogenated shortening and butter blend margarine. Additionaly, we use only pure cane sugar - no corn syrup or beet sugar. Of course, our suppliers for these items are also family-owned businesses! (Are you seeing a trend here?)
From start to finish, there are no less than 18 different hands-on steps (depending how you count, you could say as many as 26!) to get a baked roll out our door to you. You know what they say: nothing good comes easy!
Did you realize that many nutrition experts consider walnuts a superfood for their various health benefits? Did you know that walnuts:
- contain significantly more Omega-3 fatty acids than any other tree nut?1
- have nearly 10 times the phenols of red wine per oz.?2
- ranked 2nd out of the top 12 highest anti-oxidant foods?3 (Blackberries were first.)
Each roll is about 12 inches long and 4 inches across.
Minimum weight: 20oz.
Ingredients: Walnuts, Untreated Wheat Flour, Liquid Milk, Cane Sugar, Trans-fat Free Margarine (Palm Oil, Water, Mono and Diglycerides, Anatto, Calcium Disodium EDTA as preservative, Vitamin A Palmitate), Fresh Eggs, Raisins, Yeast, Salt, and Natural Flavors.
In order to get fresh product to you, we've borrowed yet another trick from our Bubba. After she baked a batch of her rolls she needed a way to store them while keeping them fresh and unspoiled - so she wrapped them well and took them up into her freezing cold attic! So we do the modern equivalent of what Bubba had done: immediately after baking and packaging, we freeze each fresh roll at 0°F. Yes, we can hear some of you gasping! Despite the skeptics, our decades of experience have proven that the natural ingredients in our products show no discernable adverse affects. Since we don't use preservatives, additives, or otherwise enhanced ingredients to artificially extend shelf life, this is how we assure you will receive fresh, unspoiled product.
We recommend that you freeze or refrigerate well-wrapped product that you intend to keep more than a few days. You can safely freeze our rolls for up to six months! |
Nut Roll with Raisins...Yum!
