My husband and I could not find any nicely packaged nuts at the local stores to give for holiday gifts. So, we visited Continente and were happy to find a wide variety of very affordably packaged gourmet nuts, candies, dried fruits, and more, almost at cost for what we’d normally pay for grocery-bulk. They gave us a box for our gift, and bubble wrapping inserts so that we could wrap our choice of a round container of mixed nuts with ease, as well as a gift tag, and we picked up a beautiful, colorful accordian-postcard set of California nut-based recipes to include in the package, all for free. They have been in business since 1900, so it was great to find such a wonderful, local source for such quality products.
