VidaViva Ecofood almonds come from our organic crops on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands), a World Biosphere Reserve, known as "La Isla Bonita" (Beautiful Island) for its beautiful and diverse landscapes.

The fields are located in the municipality of Tijarafe, at various altitudes ranging from 270 m to 800 m above sea level, in areas that offer excellent conditions for agroecology. After our plantations and harvests were affected by the volcano that erupted in 2021, we hope that all the nutrient-laden ash, together with the island's pure air, its incomparable mountain water and its wonderful light with many hours of sunshine, will contribute to improving the production and quality of our raw materials.

After being harvested by hand, the almonds are shelled and subjected to an initial quality control. In this process, they are carefully selected by hand, removing all those that are considered unsuitable due to some defect. They then undergo another manual selection that discards those that are broken. Finally, they are packaged and ready for consumption.
