Our almonds come from Amedi, in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan, where the almond trees grow through a contrasting climate: cold winters followed by hot, dry summers that slowly accompany the fruit's ripening. Harvested at the end of summer, when their husk naturally begins to open, the almonds are dried and then carefully selected for their size, quality and crunch.
In France, the almonds are entrusted to the family expertise of Maison Llanas, who master their roasting with precision. Under the effect of heat, the fruit gains in crunch and gradually reveals its toasted, sweet and naturally buttery notes. Then come the saffron and fleur de sel: the salt awakens the almond, while the saffron brings its warm, floral and delicately honeyed notes. A subtle balance in which the seasoning accompanies the fruit without ever masking its character.
Behind our almonds are families and stories. In a region deeply marked by conflict and displacement, being able to farm, harvest and once again earn a living from the land takes on a particular meaning. In Amedi, Artisans du Levant supports Ehsan and his family, among others, in developing this supply chain. By showcasing their harvests and opening up new markets for them, our ambition is simple: to turn the know-how and resources of these mountains into a lasting source of income and independence.
A generous, intensely crunchy almond. Toasted notes lifted by a touch of fleur de sel. Then, in the finish, the delicately floral warmth of saffron, which lingers on the palate without ever masking the taste of the almond.
