Today, the sun-drenched, fertile Central Valley of California supplies over 80% of the world’s almonds. Almonds are the top US specialty product export and are used around the world in culinary delights, both savory and sweet. California Stone Milling works closely with local growers to ensure only the best almonds make it into our bulk almond flour.
from the Farm to the Bakery
We partner directly with family owned almond operations, allowing us to trace each bag of flour back to the land it was grown from.
We partner with the California Almond board and local farmers that care about the quality behind each of their trees.

As almonds arrive on site, they await in cold storage until it is time to be processed. The almonds are hand fed into our state of the art facility that conveys the almond into a cold press.
This machine mechanically separates the oils in the nut from the fibers.

Our approach is slow and steady, allowing us to focus our time for the best results.
