Our Almond Paste is made from 100% high-quality Avola almonds. The Avola Valley region in Sicily is a beautiful agricultural landscape with almost year-round sunshine and calcium-rich soil, the perfect environment for producing the "perfect" almond. Avola almonds have a unique shape (elliptical and pointed at the other end) with a thick and woody shell that keeps the fat thus preserving its distinctively rich and delicate flavour and aroma.
Health benefits of eating almonds
