ALMONDS

the almond tree is so suitable for agrigentino's land environments, that it has always been cultivated there, harmoniously with vines and olive trees, composing thus the typical landscape of our territory. The flowering, between january and march, is a wonderful show that enchants each viewer. Our almonds, obtained through sustainable agricultural practices, are a pure fount of flavor and healthiness for the whole family.
