Presidential snack, but resource-efficient

Almonds are one of the world's favorite snacks, and even former US President Barack Obama is said to love them. But not all almonds are created equal.

The Californian almonds usually found in supermarkets have traveled a long way and are heavily irrigated. Marcona almonds are different: a fine Spanish variety that is rounder, more aromatic and buttery in flavor, with a delicate texture and a sweet kernel that almost melts on the tongue. A true delicacy.

Here in Castellón, our almond trees are dry-farmed, without any artificial irrigation. That is why only small quantities are produced, and why they are so resource-efficient. 

Our almonds are certified organic and sold shelled. They are perfect for snacking, baking, garnishing, adding to muesli, or even as a savory extra treat in a cheese and cream sauce.

How are the almond trees doing?

In eastern Spain, the almond tree is growing at the very edge of its ecological range. This means that while it can just barely withstand the conditions, they are far from ideal.

The climate crisis is bringing increasingly prolonged droughts. As a result, the almond tree is becoming more and more stressed: it lacks water, and more and more trees are drying out.

We know that almond farming as we know it today has only an uncertain future here. Many farmers are already replacing their almond trees with other tree species. For us, that is not yet an option. We also do not want to irrigate, as this would use water that is already scarce in this region.

In this video, we show you the challenges we face.
