Steam Pasteurization
Validated Safety. Natural Integrity.
Unlike chemical treatments, our Direct Steam Pasteurization process uses only heat and water to eliminate pathogens while maintaining the almond's raw characteristics. This is the preferred method for organic and premium natural brands.
- PPO-Free — 100% chemical-free — heat and water only
- 5-Log Validated — Meets all Almond Board of California safety standards
- Quality Retention — Precision-controlled to preserve texture, color, and shelf life
- Solar-Powered Steam — Generated by our 4-acre solar thermal array
Why Steam vs. PPO? Steam pasteurization preserves the almond's "raw" flavor profile and organic certification — making it the preferred choice for clean-label snack, trail mix, and inclusion brands.
