The Guide to Australian Almonds
There are a number of varieties of almond grown and sold in Australia. And they don’t all taste the same!
The Nonpariel variety is ideal for serving natural and displays beautifully on a platter with fruit and cheese.
The Mission variety has the most intense almond flavour – probably the almond lovers’ almond. It is ideal to use as a roasted and flavoured snack.
These three varieties represent over 95% of Australia's crop. Australian Nonpareil makes up 51% of the plantings, followed by Australian Carmel at 32% and Australian Price at 12%.
