The Avola Almond is a precious source of health, beauty and well-being, a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, an excellent supplement in diets and rich in nutrients important for our needs.

The almond trees, which flower in January and bear fruit between July and September, enjoy a particular harmony with the territory. The mild and temperate winter climate, protected by the Iblei Mountains and made healthy by the proximity of the sea and exposure to solar heat, makes the Avola Almond special both in shape and flavour.

Called the Queen of Almonds, that of Avola is the richest and tastiest in terms of nutritional principles and beneficial properties compared to other almonds. A unique product, known throughout the world, dedicated to those looking for absolute quality almonds.

The Pizzuta quality, the most prized, is so called due to its characteristic pointed shape and is used to make excellent pastries and confectionery.

Choose only original Avola almonds, with quality certified directly by the Avola Almond Consortium. These exceptional almonds are grown, processed and packaged in Avola, in the province of Syracuse, under the direct control of the consortium, which protects their distribution and guarantees their quality.
