Gourmet gift box – whole Provence almonds from Valensole

On the Valensole Plateau, where almond trees bloom before anything else

Each year, as the Valensole plateau is still emerging from winter, it is the almond trees that signal renewal. Their white and pale pink blossoms appear long before the leaves, long before the sunflowers and lavender—and it is in this family orchard that our whole almonds from Provence are born.

We cultivate two exceptional varieties: Lauranne and Ferragnès, both Provençal, both renowned for their delicate flavor, slightly firm texture, and lasting crunch. These are premium almonds, sought after by artisan pastry chefs and lovers of exceptional nuts—rare on the market and grown here for generations.

Our approach is rooted in agroecology: no glyphosate, living soils, and preserved biodiversity. The bees of Benoît Millet are never far away, pollinating the blossoms in spring and quietly ensuring a high-quality harvest. After harvesting, the almonds are naturally dried and then vacuum-packed to preserve their full aroma, without any preservatives.

From our farm to your table, directly—without intermediaries.

Available in 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg, and 10 kg

A nut with remarkable nutritional density

Almonds are one of the rare foods that naturally combine pleasure and balance. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, they help reduce bad cholesterol and support cardiovascular health. Their plant-based protein content (nearly 20 g per 100 g) makes them an excellent choice for vegetarian diets and active lifestyles. Their fiber content supports healthy digestion and contributes to a lasting feeling of fullness.

The vitamin E they contain—a powerful antioxidant—helps protect cells from premature aging and nourishes the skin from within, supporting elasticity and a radiant complexion.

From aperitif to dessert, almonds from Provence can be enjoyed in all their generosity

Roasted almonds with fleur de sel and rosemary
Roast your almonds for 10 minutes at 160°C with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of Camargue fleur de sel, and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary. A simple, fragrant, and irresistible Provençal appetizer.

Homemade almond milk
Soak 100 g of whole almonds overnight in cold water. Rinse, blend with 800 ml of water, then strain through a clean cloth. The result is incomparable to industrial versions: creamier, more aromatic, truly vibrant.

Almonds with lavender honey
Mix your almonds with two tablespoons of our lavender honey from Valensole, spread on a baking tray, and bake for 12 minutes at 170°C. Let cool. A sweet and savory combination that captures the essence of Provence.

Warm goat cheese salad with almonds and fresh herbs
On a bed of mesclun, place a slice of grilled goat cheese, sprinkle with lightly toasted whole almonds, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of honey vinegar. A revisited Provençal classic.

Lamb tagine with almonds and dried apricots
Add a handful of whole almonds at the end of cooking your tagine to bring a crunchy texture and aromatic richness reminiscent of southern Mediterranean cuisine.

Homemade almond powder
Blend whole almonds (with their skin) in short pulses to obtain a fine, fragrant powder—far more flavorful than store-bought versions, perfect for financiers, frangipane, and Basque cakes.
