Almonds
Tunisia
Organic
Whole, unshelled almonds of the high-quality Mazzetto variety. Originally from Italy, this variety produces large, beautifully shaped kernels with a hint of sweetness in the flavour. Enjoy these almonds on their own or use them for pastries, in muesli or for cooking. Mazzetto almonds come from family farmers in north-west Tunisia. Skaya, the company that processes and exports them, was created in close cooperation with gebana.
Store nuts and seeds in a cool, dark place in a tightly closed container. Make sure that the container is as airtight as possible so that moisture is kept away from the nuts. You can also freeze nuts and seeds, which will extend their shelf life by several months.
- Grown by 6 family farmers on an average of 5 ha in the Kasserine and Kairouan Regions in Tunisia
- Organic, rare variety (Mazetto), partially irrigated fields, manually harvested and sorted, sun dried, transport: by lorry from Mahdia to Radès, by ship to Genoa, by lorry to Switzerland/Germany
- Purchasing from cooperatives and family farmers straight from the farm since 2017
- Potential for improvement: Persuade more family farmers in the region to switch to organic cultivation and get certified
