Almond Praline with Brown Sugar from Larissa 210g

Our story Triantafyllou Farm is a family business in Makrychori, near Larissa, in central Greece. We started in 2009 working the land, growing and selling watermelons, melons, onions, cabbages, apricots and almonds. For years our work was the soil and what it gave us, season after season. In 2020 we took the next step. We moved into processing almonds and other nuts, and began making spreads, nut butters and almond drinks. Today the almonds grown in our own fields reach the table in many forms, from the raw nut to praline and almond butter. The face of the farm is Efi Triantafyllou, who represents the family and its work. Through η LocalGoods we want people to get to know the hands and the work behind every almond and every spread. The place Our base is Makrychori, a village a few kilometres north of Larissa, in the heart of the Thessalian plain. This is one of the most fertile lowlands in Greece, with the Pineios river running nearby and its waters feeding the land. It is a place of hot, dry summers and cold winters, a climate that suits the almond tree and gives the nut the time it needs to ripen properly. The Larissa plain has a long farming tradition, and it is in this landscape that our almonds and the rest of our produce grow. Everything begins in these fields. Whatever reaches the package has first passed through here, through the soil and the climate of the Thessalian plain. How we work The almond variety we grow is Vairo, a productive and vigorous variety that gives sweet almonds, rich in monounsaturated fats and protein, with a light colour and a soft texture. We chose it because the nut has a clean, full flavour that holds up even after processing. From the field to the final package, we handle almost every stage of processing in our own facilities. This lets us know exactly what goes into every jar and every pack, and keep the flavour and freshness steady from batch to batch. Our production lines are designed to limit cross contact between the different types of nuts, with separate handling for almonds. Our slogan, "A gift of nature, with love for you," sums up the way we work: careful growing in the field and careful processing afterwards, so that what reaches your table is a product with a clean, fresh taste.
