California Almonds

For centuries, almonds have been cherished for their delightful flavor, satisfying crunch, and, increasingly, their nutritional benefits. California stands as the world’s leading producer of almonds, thanks to its ideal growing conditions. These include a mild climate characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, rainy winters, nutrient-rich soil, and abundant sunshine. This region accounts for approximately 80% of the global almond supply and exports its products to over 100 countries. To maintain a consistent, high-quality, and nutritious product year-round, cutting-edge equipment and specialized techniques are employed in the processes of cultivation, harvesting, processing, and packaging.

The California almond industry places a strong emphasis on environmental responsibility and consumer well-being, implementing food safety and quality assurance programs both in the orchard and during processing and packaging. California almonds offer exceptional versatility, available in various varieties and forms suitable for a wide range of product applications. The Almond Board of California’s Technical Kit is a valuable resource for determining the most appropriate almond variety, size, form, and grade to meet your specific needs.
