Nonpareil is the leading almond variety of California and the quality benchmark of the international trade. It has a flat, pale kernel with a smooth surface and a mildly sweet taste. It is the first choice when you need a good looking, uniform almond for retail or for blanching.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Nonpareil more expensive?
It has the most uniform and pale kernel, which stays clean after blanching. That makes it the reference variety for retail and blanched almonds.
Which size suits pastry?
Usually the smaller 30/32 and 32/34. The 25/27 and 27/30 grades are preferred for loose sale and roasting.
