Almond
We are specialists in Iberian almonds.
Iberian almonds are world-famous for their flavour. This term covers a range of varieties commonly grown on the Iberian Peninsula, primarily in Spain. They have very distinctive flavours and textures, and contain healthy fats that also help bring out their natural sweetness.
These almonds are delicious! It’s no surprise that they are loved by consumers all over the world.
During the next few years, Spain will become the world’s 2nd largest producer of almonds, and at Unió, which is Spain’s largest cooperative for nut producers in Spain, we have the capacity to supply these products to major customers worldwide.
