Blue Diamond

Portrait

Blue Diamond Growers, based in California, is the world's largest producer of almond ingredients and the leading international brand for almond products. Founded in 1910 as a cooperative, the company now unites more than half of all Californian almond growers under one roof. The plantations of the 3,000 farmers, which have been in operation for many generations, are located in the Central Valley, which offers ideal conditions for almond cultivation with its mild and sunny climate.

With more than 100 years of experience, Blue Diamond Growers is the preferred partner of the food industry and markets its products throughout the USA and in over 90 countries worldwide.

The former almond pioneer now operates three state-of-the-art production facilities with over 1,300 employees, whose technologies have been continuously developed and optimized. Blue Diamond Growers also has the highest standards when it comes to product quality and food safety and is able to deliver consistently high quality.

The company also guarantees its customers a high level of innovation through its own Innovation Center. The best example of this is almonds in a wide variety of flavors and shapes. As an ingredient, they allow manufacturers to cater to the ever-growing trend towards unusual flavor combinations.
