Get your walnuts pressed

Hi Val
I wondered if you would be interested in some photos that I took today at the Moulin d'huile de noix in St Antonin.
The walnuts are collected at the end of the year & allowed to dry. In late winter the men break the nuts open by hitting them with a little hammer & the women collect the pieces of the kernel of the walnut. 35 kg of whole nuts produces 12 - 14kg of kernel & about 5 litres of walnut oil.
