BALANO TREES

We are a tree nursery that selects oak trees for acorn flavour to consume directly as nuts or to transform into several products.

Sweet acorn
oak trees

The fruit of Oak trees is highly nutritious and was once a staple food for people from around the world. We are on mission to bring the acorn back as a human food crop.

What is a sweet acorn?

The one that is delicious when eaten directly from the tree, raw or cooked, with no previous processing needed.

Holm Oak

Quercus ilex bears the sweetest acorns of all oak species. But true sweet acorns are only the ones produced by individual superior trees.

Grafted trees

We reproduce our trees through grafting to make sure that they bear the same delicious nuts than the mother trees.
