Most store-bought almond milk is 98% water and barely 2% almonds. It has very little to do with almonds. When you make almond milk with Marco Colzani Raw Sicilian Almond Spread, everything changes.
We’re talking real almonds, ground by the skilled hands of Marco Colzani. No fillers. No stabilizers. No shortcuts. ALL the almond flavor.
The almonds? They’re from Sicilia, heritage varieties Romana and Pizzuta, grown by small farmers who don’t irrigate. That’s right: zero irrigation, 100% rain-fed.
Meanwhile, one cup of store-bought almond milk requires hundreds (yes, hundreds) of liters of water, because California almonds are heavily irrigated.
We’ll let that soak in.
🥛 THE RECIPE 🥛
Shake 2 spoons of Marco Colzani Raw Almond Spread with 1 cup of cold water. That’s it. Creamy, nutty, full of flavor and yes, packed with nutrients too. If one cup of store-bought almond milk typically has 1 gram of protein, your homemade Sicilian latte di mandorla delivers 2.5 grams.
Serve it over ice for the most refreshing moment of your day. Add it to coffee for our signature Caffè Leccese. Freeze it and make Almond Granita alla Siciliana. You do you, but let’s bring almonds back into almond milk.
