Unsweetened Almond Paste
Sicilian almonds are peeled, roasted and ground into this creamy paste with a consistency similar to smooth peanut butter. Made only from 100% Sicilian almonds, this paste is unsweetened and unadulterated—resulting in a pure, concentrated nutty flavor with toasty undertones. Mix into cake batter, pair with your favorite fruit preserves to smother a stack of pancakes, or enjoy simply spread on a graham cracker topped with slices of tart Granny Smith apples.
About the Producer
Mattia Pariani’s love affair with hazelnuts began during his studies at the University of Torino, where his thesis on hazelnut oil won the National Innovation Prize. Not content with scholarly writing and research, the nut nut began extracting and bottling his own oils from the finest Piemontese hazelnuts and quickly gained a reputation as the ultimate artisan producer of Italian nut oils. Mattia’s passion is evident in all of the Pariani products, which range from that exquisite hazelnut oil to nut pastes and flours, as well as decadent torrone.
One spoonful of this and I knew I could never eat California hippie almond butter again. I kept reading the ingredients thinking there had to be sugar or oil to make this such a silky, irresistible paste. You can taste the almond blossom. Did someone seriously write "nothing special" as a review? Were we eating the same thing?
It’s just OK
