Mediterranean Context
In Mediterranean food culture, seasonality defines value.
Green almonds appear briefly in early spring, long before the almond hardens and matures. During this short window, they are consumed fresh or preserved to extend their presence at the table beyond the harvest season.
Brining green almonds allows households to capture this fleeting moment of freshness and enjoy it slowly, often served alongside bread, olive oil, cheese, and simple meals.
The Character of Green Almonds
Harvested Before Maturity
Green almonds are collected while the shell is still soft and edible, offering a texture that is crisp yet tender.
Fresh and Gently Tart
Their flavor is lightly sour with herbal notes, making them refreshing rather than rich or heavy.
Traditional Brining Approach
Respecting Seasonality
Mare Nostrum applies a gentle brining process designed to preserve the almond’s natural crunch and fresh character.
Pasteurized for Stability
Pasteurization ensures food safety and shelf stability without altering the product’s seasonal identity.
