- Product Highlights
- It is the largest volume tree nut commercially grown and the principal growing areas for sweet almonds are California, Australia and the Valencia region of Spain, whereas bitter almonds are predominantly from Morocco.
- California (Sacramento or Central Valley) normally harvests about 80% of the world’s crop. The orchards bloom around March- April and the crop is harvested in September-October. 750,000 acres of land are planted with some 51 varieties of almonds. The predominant variety is Non-Pareil, but other varieties needed for successful pollinating, such as Carmel and Butte-Padre, are becoming increasingly popular, especially for processing.
- Using either natural (skin on) or blanched almonds we can do a range of processing such as laser inspection, roasting or heat treating, size reduction (nibbing/chopping), grinding, pasting or making into almond butter. These almond products are used as ingredients in food manufacture, bakery, sauces, ready meals, confectionery, snacks and bars.
- The groups of variants below are currently our most in-demand and thus most are available in stock but we are happy to assist customers with their product enquiries and can offer bespoke or value engineered ingredient solutions. Please contact our NPD/sales team for more information.
