Q: Are your almonds really unpasteurized? A: Yes they are truly raw and unpasteurized and grown in California. We operate under a lawful exemption (7 CFR Part 981) which allows farmers to sell the almonds they grew direct to the consumer, up to 100 lbs per day. We sell only the almonds we grow. Since they are unpasteurized, they are sproutable.
Q: What makes your almonds different and better from anyone else? A: First, we are a true small family farm. Everyone has a role. Next, our almonds are off-ground harvested onto tarps. Everyone else harvests the typical way, onto the ground which is full of pathogens. This poor method involves a very dusty dirty operation of blowing and sweeping the almonds up. Off ground harvested almonds like ours avoid the exposure to the pathogens which is very important in an unpasteurized product for optimal health and food safety. Of course we are certified organic, regenerative, and DO NOT pasteurize in any way. Our almond butter is stone ground from raw, not roasted almonds in small batches crafted with artisan quality. Very little oil separation compared to other brands. We make it ourselves, not outsourced. Our smoked almonds are totally unique. They are smoked on real wood not liquid smoke. You can actually pronounce the ingredients: almonds, sea salt, organic olive oil and smoke from almond wood.
