Almonds
Tunisia
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.
Please note: This batch of Mazzetto almonds is not officially certified organic, as our partner company was unable to renew its certification for financial reasons. It is also the last batch we will be sourcing from this company.
