Almond Opportunities: Blanched Almond Butter

Harris Woolf Almonds offers clean, quality almond butter ingredients to a variety of customers. The versatility of almond butter is unmatched, and our team takes advantage of its many variations by offering custom-processed solutions like blanched almond butter. To find your organization’s perfect paste solution, consider the difference between our blanched and regular almond butter offerings.

Blanched vs Regular Almond Butter: Which is Right for You?

To develop our blanched offering, our team uses a process that boils and cools our California almonds, allowing the skins to be easily peeled off. The blanched almonds are then milled into a paste with a state-of-the-art hydraulic press. The result is a blanched almond paste that is a lighter color with a smoother texture. With the bitterness of the almond skins removed, blanched paste tends to be slightly sweeter in taste, however, this taste is not likely to be noticeable. Considering the performance, functionality, and health benefits are the same, the main difference and deciding point between blanched and unblanched almond butter comes down to a preference for how the ingredient looks.

Both are valuable additions to a variety of recipes, but one might suit the goals of your end product slightly better. No matter what product in mind, our team can help you find the perfect almond solution.

Production Method

Our blanched almond butter is made using sustainably grown California almonds that are mechanically sorted and pasteurized. These almonds are blanched to remove the skins, roasted, and milled to form a smooth, creamy, and nutritional butter.

Clean Almond Ingredients

Optical sorting, employee training, food safety, and traceability are fundamental within our facilities to commit to less waste and a quality end product. Our blanched butter manufacturing process utilizes almonds that are guaranteed Kosher, non-GMO, SQF Certified, and Halal.

Packaging

Labeled with product name, allergen declaration, processor name, address, weight, kosher symbol, date of manufacture, date of expiry, and lot number, our almond paste and butter units are packaged in one of two ways: The first is 450 lb fiber drums with a tamper-proof lid cover. This includes 4 drums per pallet. Our other packaging option is 30 lb net plastic pails, again with a tamper-proof lid and with 36 pails per pallet.

The Nutritional Value of HWA Almond Butter

As a rich source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, vitamin E, and dietary fiber, almonds are known to bring a long list of nutritional benefits to consumers and can be incorporated into a variety of diets. Harris Woolf’s almond milling and pressing processes are optimized to not only retain the nutritional value of our almonds but to concentrate the nutrients into the best, most valuable butter ingredient on the market!

Incorporating Blanched Almond Butter into Product Development

Blanched almond butter’s versatility makes it a simple ingredient solution for producing several foods and beverages, from sweet to savory. It can help formulate high-demand plant-based products including milk, ice cream, cheese, and other dairy alternatives. It can also elevate baked goods and confectionery products while keeping protein content high and carbs low.

For the same performance, functionality, and health benefits of regular almond butter with a smoother texture and lighter color, many manufacturers turn to our blanched almond butter offering. When using blanched almond butter in recipe development and product formulation, we know manufacturers require quality and rely on customization to meet their needs. The HWA team can meet a variety of customer specifications while offering consistency in nutritional content, texture, and flavor.
