Sicilian Almond Cream

CREMA DI MANDORLE · AVOLA, SICILY

Our almond cream is made from the Pizzuta d'Avola — Sicily's most celebrated almond, grown in the hills above Avola and harvested by hand each summer. Sweet, silky, and quietly extraordinary.

Our almond cream starts with the Pizzuta d'Avola — roasted, ground, and exactly as it should be.

The Pizzuta blooms in winter, before everything else has woken up. Harvested by hand in the height of summer from the hills around Avola and Noto. A Sicilian poet once called it perfect — he meant the shape. He could have meant the flavor. Sweet and clean, with a depth that only comes from an almond that has had centuries to get it right.

Spread on warm brioche. Stir into your morning coffee. Fold into pastry cream, spoon over gelato, or keep the jar close and a spoon closer. Once you open it, you'll find a reason every single day.

The Pizzuta d'Avola grows in the hills above Avola in southeastern Sicily — the same families, the same groves, harvested by hand each summer.

The first almond to bloom in winter.
The last thing you'll forget.

The Pizzuta d'Avola is slow-roasted first.
Then stone-ground.
Nothing added.

The same process as our pistachio cream — because when the ingredient is this good, nothing should get in the way.
