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.
About the Grower
Casarosa Almonds is a multi-generational almond orchard based in Taylorville, SA, on the banks of the Murray River. Managed by the Casaretto family, the farm uses regenerative principles and zero synthetic pesticides. Their focus is on water efficiency, soil health, and clean, minimally processed almond products for Australian households.
Many of their products—like this almond meal—are sold under their retail brand The Almond Farmer.
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.
