The natural taste of almonds preserved using our traditional skills.
It is the raw almond which offers at the same time the richest of flavours, nutritional values, and health-giving virtues. Using the traditional methods of PERLAMANDE, the original taste of the almonds is preserved as well as their nutritional qualities.
PERLAMANDE respects nature: almonds and other dried fruit and nuts are neither grilled nor roasted.
The processing of almonds often implies heating stages (grilling or roasting) detrimental to the taste as well as to the nutritional value. In fact this heating caramelises the taste and reduces the amount of vitamin E (tocopherol and alpha-tocopherol) entailing a reduced conservation time and a denaturation of the polyunsaturates (“the good oils” of the almond).
PERLAMANDE respects nature by stone grinding
slowly, without heating.
The exclusive traditional craftsmanship of PERLAMANDE, perpetuated since 1920, gives their products an unequalled taste and smoothnes as well as preserving the original nutritional qualities.
The marzipans and other dried fruit and nuts from PERLAMANDE are renowned for the exceptional creaminess of their texture and their incomparable natural taste.
These qualities spring from a method of preparation that is particularly careful and meticulous: the nuts are finely ground by mill stones, slowly and without heating. The paste obtained is not heated, so all the qualities and the taste of the nuts are left intact.
This method is obviously much longer than that usually practised! But quality comes at a price, and those who have tasted our products have appreciated the difference!
A rigorous selection of almonds
and other fruit and nuts.
PERLAMANDE selects organic varieties which supply both flavour and nutritional qualities, as confirmed by a committee of expert tasters and a laboratory analysis.
