Eighteen ways into the same South Australian almond. Hand-packed in Melbourne, picked the way the Mariani family has done since 1975.
Founded in Melbourne by Frank Mariani. Run today by his son Mark. Same family, same site.
South Australian almonds, Queensland macadamias, NSW pistachios, Victorian walnuts and apricots.
Every bag is weighed and sealed by a person, in our Melbourne facility. No exceptions.
In 1975 Frank Mariani opened a small shop in Melbourne and started packing nuts by hand. Five decades later his son Mark runs the business — and we still pack every bag the same way.
The almonds in this bag are grown in South Australia. We buy direct from the family farms we've worked with for years and they arrive at our facility in Melbourne to be roasted and packed.
Three steps: roast, salt, hand-pack. Done the way we've done them for fifty years.
Direct from family farms we've worked with for years. Australian almonds — never imported.
Roasted in our Melbourne facility before they're packed. The straightforward way, done the way we've done it since 1975.
Weighed and sealed by our team in Melbourne. Every bag is checked by a person, not a sensor. That's the slow part — and the part we won't change.

Almonds are naturally gluten-free. Our facility handles tree nuts and wheat-containing products, so these are not certified gluten-free for coeliac purposes.
Sealed: twelve months from the pack date printed on the back of the bag. Once opened, around four weeks if you reseal — though most people don't need that long.
Yes — we ship Australia-wide from our Melbourne facility. Shipping rates and delivery estimates are shown at checkout.

Yes. Every almond in our range comes from family farms in South Australia. Mixes that contain other nuts (cashews, brazils, etc.) source those internationally — but the almonds are always Australian.
