Once the almonds are received from the farms of trusted companies and farmers, we store them in our facilities.
We begin the processing of the Iberian almond with shelling. This is the first step to extract the almond. In this phase of the process, we use state-of-the-art machinery to remove the shell with precision, ensuring a gentle treatment of the fruit. The shelling we perform allows us to obtain clean almonds, ready for further processing.
· We separate the almond from the shell.
· We remove any shell remnants and other particles.
· We calibrate with precision to classify the different sizes.
The almond skin removal process we carry out at Almendras Donaire involves removing the brown skin that covers the seed (almond) after it has been shelled. This procedure is generally carried out as follows
· Blanching: we immerse the almonds in high temperatures for a brief period to loosen the skin.
· Mechanical peeling: we use rollers to detach the skin from the almonds.
· Drying: the peeled almonds are carefully dried to remove any additional moisture.
This process ensures almonds with a cleaner appearance and a texture suitable for use in food products or as raw material in other applications.
After the skin removal process, we transform the almonds into various formats to meet the needs of the pastry industry and other food sectors. These formats include
· Almond slices: The almonds are cut into thin slices, ideal for decorating and adding texture to cakes, tarts, and other pastry products.
· Almond sticks: The almonds are cut into elongated strips, generally used in cookies, breads, and as an ingredient in mixed nuts.
· Almond granules: The almonds are chopped into small fragments, used in the making of ice creams, chocolates, and as a topping for various desserts.
· Almond flour: The almonds are ground to a fine texture, used in the preparation of doughs, gluten-free cakes, and bakery products.
These industrialization processes allow Almendras Donaire to offer versatile, high-quality products for various culinary applications.
After processing the almonds into various formats, such as slices, sticks, granules, or flour, we proceed to the final packaging. This process involves packing the almonds into suitable containers to preserve their freshness and quality, facilitating their distribution and marketing in the market.
Our packaging service ensures that each product reaches the market in optimal condition. Additionally, we adapt to the needs of our clients with different functional and practical packaging options.
