From processed almonds California to our best products
90% of Alfrus products come from processed almonds California, but we also process Italian, Spanish, and other almonds from many other countries, even on requests, such as Greece, Morocco, and Australia.
All of these countries are different and far from each other, but they have something in common when we speak about almond production: mild climates and a great, long tradition relating to almond harvesting and crops.
In these countries, we select certified suppliers who can assure us only natural products, grew up without the massive use of pesticides, through ethical and eco-sustainable work. For us, our suppliers are the cornerstones of our business vision: working well respecting the planet and the people and stakeholders who choose us.
In California, we have long-established trusting relationships with small and large local almond-plant growers. And we often carry out on-site visits to personally check how they grow and harvest almond crops, as well as how they store bulks up the shipping.
This is what distinguishes our company from other competitors: our careful suppliers’ selection and our compliance to produce high-quality processed almonds California.

ALMOND CALIFORNIA, FEATURES AND QUALITY
The almonds we process in our two Italian factories, in Bari and Udine, are classified under the variety of Prunus Dulcis.
Sweet almonds are ideal as a basic ingredient for confectionery food products. And this is why in our manufacturing natural stages we have always processed almonds California or any other sweet variety.
COMPOSITION OF SWEET ALMONDS FROM CALIFORNIA
Current research shows that there are no major differences in nutrient composition among the major California almond varieties.
However, some changes can occur in their ripening, harvesting, and the size of almonds seeds. But this mainly depends on the individual species or cultivars present in different areas of California.
The most common cultivar varieties of almonds California are:
- Butte
- Carmel
- Frits
- Mission
- Monterey
- Nonpareil
- Sonora
A study carried out by the Journal of Food Composition and Analis, compared the nutrient profiles of the seven major almond California varieties.
The analyses were carried out on almonds from different areas of California, focusing on samples from three different years. And in every exam performed, the nutritional profiles were always very similar.
As a result, the study showed that there are no significant differences among all of them.
