The Sicilian almond: a fruit with millennia of history
The almond has been part of Sicily's identity for over two thousand years. The Phoenicians brought it to the island, but it was the Sicilians who transformed it into a culinary art: from marzipan to convent sweets, from granita to almond milk. In every corner of the island, the almond tells a story.
Our Organic Almond Cream is born from this tradition. It is not a simple spread: it is the result of a short, certified organic supply chain, where every almond is selected, roasted and processed with the care that only artisan production can guarantee.
What makes this cream special?
With 43% almond, our cream has an aromatic profile that industrial creams can only dream of. Slow roasting brings out the sweet and subtly bitter notes of the almond, while fine grinding creates a velvety texture that melts on the palate.
No palm oil, no artificial flavours, no preservatives. Just almonds, cane sugar, sunflower oil and cocoa butter. Four ingredients for an extraordinary result.
How to enjoy it at its best
- At breakfast — On warm toasted bread, where the cream softens and releases all its aroma.
- In tarts — As a filling for tarts and biscuits, it superbly replaces chopped nuts.
- With fruit — A spoonful on sliced banana or fresh strawberries: the perfect snack.
- In coffee — A teaspoon in a latte transforms breakfast into a gourmet ritual.
In Sicily the almond is sacred. In Noto, every February, the Sagra del Mandorlo in Fiore celebrates the first blossom of spring — an event that draws visitors from around the world.
Organic by choice, not by fashion
Organic certification is not a marketing badge. It means the almonds grow without synthetic pesticides, in soil tended with traditional methods, respecting natural cycles. The result shows in the taste: more intense, cleaner, truer.
The operator is controlled by body IT BIO 006, guaranteeing a transparent supply chain from almond grove to jar.
A gift that tells of Sicily
The Organic Almond Cream is perfect as a gourmet gift. Elegant in its glass jar, authentic in content, it tells of Sicily better than any postcard. Those who receive it, reorder it.
