Origin: grown in Avola, Sicily
Our Avola almond Roman come from land in Avola, situated in one of the areas best suited to almond cultivation.
The Avola area offers ideal conditions:
- a warm and stable Mediterranean climate
- strong sunshine all year round
- mineral-rich limestone soils
- low humidity, which promotes fruit quality
These factors help to produce almonds with a rich flavour and a crunchy texture, whilst preserving the product’s natural characteristics.
The fruit is harvested using traditional methods, selecting only those that are perfectly ripe.
