Pickled Green Almonds

Pickled Green Almonds – Seasonal Rarity, Delicate Crunch & Mediterranean Freshness

Product Overview

Pickled Green Almonds are a rare and luxurious Mediterranean specialty made from young, unripe almonds harvested in early spring. At this stage, the nut is still soft and encased in its tender green hull, offering a mildly tart flavor, juicy texture, and refreshing crunch. When preserved in brine, these green almonds develop a crisp bite and bright, citrusy taste that pairs beautifully with seafood, cheeses, and meze assortments.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Pickled Green Almonds, sourced from selected almond orchards in Western Anatolia and the Mediterranean belt of Turkey. Each almond is hand-picked at the ideal maturity stage, cleaned, and preserved in balanced brine to retain its delicate flavor, natural green color, and texture. Available in seasonal lots, this gourmet item is tailored for high-end retail, HoReCa, and specialty importers seeking authentic Mediterranean excellence.
