Mariani Nut Company is dedicated to globally sharing the finest quality almonds and walnuts. Mariani Nut Company was founded in 1972 by cousins Jack and Dennis Mariani who came from the Santa Clara Valley. Looking for new farming opportunities outside the burgeoning Santa Clara Valley, they found a very similar micro-climate just 60 miles northeast of San Francisco in the town of Winters. Today, Mariani Nut Company has grown to be one of the largest, privately-held, walnut and almond processors in the world. To the same extent, the farming operation has also grown to several thousand acres. Mariani walnuts and almonds reach virtually all regions of the world. Our products find a home not only here in the U.S., but a significant tonnage is also shipped to Europe, Asia and Australia.
