Chufa de Valencia

Chufa de Valencia is a tigernut cultivated in l’Horta Nord de Valencia. The tigernuts are grown, harvested, washed and dried in the designated area. These unique nuts must be intact, clean and free from any blemishes. The flavor of this nut is quite sweet and nutty; the texture is very hard and the nuts must be soaked in water before consumption.

This nut is traditionally used in Spain for the production of Horchata; a non-alcoholic beverage similar to other plant-based milk alternatives. It is made using tigernuts, sugar and water, sometimes accompanied by sweet spices such as cinnamon.
