100% Almond Paste

The almond tree grows in a subtropical climate. It can therefore be found in regions such as the United States (over 80 per cent of almonds come from California), North Africa and countries such as Greece, Turkey, Spain and Italy.

Almond paste, or marzipan filling, is a mixture of almonds and sugar.

The almond is the seed of the almond tree, which grows in countries with a Mediterranean climate. The almond tree is closely related to the plum and peach tree.

After the fruit has been harvested, the nuts are dried in their shells for 8-10 days. They are then transported to the factory, where they are cracked and washed. They are also sorted by size and blanched. Almonds are blanched because this makes it easier to remove the skin. Most of them are then shelled and sold with or without their skin. Almonds are also sold in other forms, such as flakes, slivers, pieces, ground and as almond paste.
