Nurturing Nature: Mandolé Orchard's Commitment to Sustainable Almond Farming

Setting the bar high on premium Australian-grown almonds, Mandolé Orchard is a leader in their field. This 20-year-old 600-hectare orchard is located in the Riverina region of NSW, and they distribute their single origin almonds, almond milk and almond butter all over the country, packaged beautifully with their recognisable almond branch print.

In May, the trees rest and rejuvenate, ready for the upcoming blossoms to emerge during early Spring. Following the gorgeous blossoming period depicted in the image above, the petals fall and the fruit develops, allowing the kernels to mature and harden. Annual harvest takes place on the farm during the late Summer months with the harvester shaking the trees, allowing the nuts to fall to the orchard floor for collection.

Integral to the operations on a daily basis is the commitment to sustainable farming practices. This includes techniques to foster soil rejuvenation, bees for pollination, and water conservation through censored drip irrigation resulting in 30% less water usage than the industry standard.

The multi-generational family farm produces single origin natural, roasted and salted almonds, as well as a signature range of value-added products for which they are widely recognised throughout cafes and retail outlets across the country.

Steeped in their Italian heritage, the family almond milk recipe has been perfected over time into a consistent and low-intervention range of activated almond milk. The collection includes five fresh, clean, sustainable varieties: original, unsweetened, chocolate, coconut and barista-style almond milk with no added nasties.

A natural progression from the milk is the silky smooth almond butter in both an unsalted and smooth version. The lightly roasted almonds produce a rich colour and luxurious texture, perfectly spreadable and delicious added to a smoothie, nourish bowl, or as a spread.

The Mandolé Orchard brand is full of street cred with brand ambassadors carefully selected to reflect clean living, high nutritional eating, sustainability and a flavourful, seasonal life! It’s vibrant and recognisable throughout cafes and stores, making it just as appealing to those seeking nut milk, to those who aren’t. And if you’re yet to try a Mandolé Orchard coffee at your local café or at home then you’re missing out!
