Nutty, wholesome, and minimally processed—this almond meal is made from whole almonds (with skin on) grown without synthetic pesticides on the Casarosa orchard in South Australia. Ground fresh from pesticide free almonds, it’s rich in fibre, plant protein, and natural oils. Ideal for baking, gluten-free cooking, or adding depth and texture to porridges, mueslis, and desserts.

This is not almond flour (which is made from blanched almonds), but almond meal—giving it a slightly darker colour and a fuller, more robust flavour.

Managed by the Casaretto family, the farm uses regenerative principles and zero synthetic pesticides.

What Is Almond Meal?

Almond meal is ground whole almonds—skin and all. This distinguishes it from almond flour, which is made from blanched almonds with the skins removed. Casarosa’s almond meal has a coarser texture and a speckled brown colour, giving your recipes more flavour, fibre, and nutrients.

It’s a go-to ingredient for coeliacs, low-carb bakers, and anyone wanting to add healthy fats and whole-food structure to their baking.

Culinary Uses

Almond meal is incredibly versatile. Use it to:

• Replace ¼ to ½ the wheat flour in cakes, muffins or cookies

• Add moisture and richness to pancakes and dense breads

• Make classic Middle Eastern or Mediterranean-style cakes (e.g., orange almond cake)

• Enrich pastry crusts

• Enhance energy balls, porridge or granola

Note: Almond meal can generally be used interchangeably with almond flour in most home recipes, but it will give a slightly denser texture.

FAQs

Is this almond meal suitable for gluten-free baking?

Yes. Almonds are naturally gluten-free and this meal is processed in a facility that does not handle gluten. 

What’s the difference between almond meal and almond flour?

Almond meal uses whole almonds (skin on); almond flour uses blanched almonds (skin off). Meal has a coarser texture and more fibre.

Can I toast almond meal before using it?

Yes, gently toasting it in a dry pan can bring out extra nuttiness and deepen its flavour.

What does it taste like?

Nutty, slightly sweet, and rich—with a wholesome, grainy texture.

How should I store it?

Because of its natural oils, almond meal can go rancid if exposed to heat or light. Store it in an airtight container in a cool pantry or fridge. For long-term freshness, freeze it.
