We will bet money that Marco Colzani's Crema Spalmabile di Mandorle is the most almondy product you've ever tasted. More than any marzipan or Pasta di Mandorla, this spread is chock full of real almonds (45%!) and little else - just water and Italian raw sugar. The almonds are raw rather than toasted, giving this spread a fresh, sweet, profoundly almondy flavor while maintaining all their healthy vitamins and minerals. And get ready for some serious mouthfeel! Each jar is full of grainy almond texture. ...read more
Marco personally sources all of his almonds from Avola, Sicily, where almonds are part of a sustainable local tradition. He uses three varieties typical to Avola: Pizzuta, Fascionello, and Romana.
Marco Colzani's almond spread is bursting with the flavor and texture of Sicily's famously sweet almonds. Perfect for breakfast on fresh bread or toast, it also makes an incredible icing for cupcakes and a delicately sweet topping for pancakes, crepes, or gelato. It's an excellent secret ingredient for cookies or cakes and can even be used to make almond milk!
