Adored for over 3,000 years

The almond has a surprisingly long history, as it has been known in Europe for several thousand years. In Greece, almonds were already cultivated in the 5th century AD and were called "Greek nut" there. Almond trees are mainly cultivated in western Central Asia and the Mediterranean region. The almond tree probably originated in subtropical China and Western Asia. It grows best in temperate, warm zones, but it can also withstand cold (down to -20 degrees). This tree- or shrub-like plant belongs to the rose family.

From the fruit to the oil

After harvesting the almond kernels, they are processed into oil, among other methods, through gentle cold pressing.

Cold pressing preserves valuable ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, tocopherols, and sterols.
