In our land, on the Eastern coast of Spain, one can still see old almond trees, dark and twisted, blossoming in the mid of winter and covered in flowers long before any
other plant has even sprouted its first shoots. 

Almond trees have lived among us for centuries. And we have learnt to love them. They are part of our culture, of our countryside and of our character. This love and knowledge of almonds has been passed on in our company for generations.

Nowadays almonds are a global consumer product. Consumers all around the world demand different varieties of almonds processed in a personalized fashion to satisfy different cultural needs.

The food industry demands sustainable quality almonds as an ideal ingredient in manufacturing tasty, healthy and attractive products. Apart from its use in cuisine, where it is used in a number of dishes and sauces, its delicate aroma and crunchy texture is irreplaceable in ice creams, confectionery, creams, cakes, biscuits, etc.

Our dedication to almonds comes from our culture and our family, and we offer our almonds with this love, giving the food industry a healthy and nutritious ingredient.

We process almonds as a fundamental quality ingredient for the food industry, giving it whatever format the industry might require

It was over 80 years ago that D. Vicente Llopis Espinos started his business of shelled Spanish almonds in Alicante. Since then the Llopis family, now in its third generation, has worked in the almond business staying true to its origins.

The 90’s were years of technological development and the introduction of new lines in the processing plant. Our strategy revolves around the added value of our products, diversifying the ways in which we process almonds and constantly strive for excellence and good work. 

Today the LLopis almond factory in San Vicente del Raspeig (Alicante) is one of the most automated in Europe. There we process almonds as a fundamental quality ingredient for the food industry, giving it whatever format the industry might require: whole, blanched, toasted, sliced, sliced, slivered, ground, in paste or in praline.

We export our products to many demanding markets all over the world supplying them with almonds which pass the strictest quality controls, armed with the confidence of having the BRC (Level A) certificate, the world standard of food safety, as well as other specific certificates (Halal and Kosher) for certain markets.

Our strategy for the future consists in the vertical development of our organization. We own our own fields in the Iberian Peninsula and have cooperation agreements with farmers with whom we work from the very beginning starting with the development of their farms. Thus we not only cooperate in the development and sustainability of our raw material, but also contribute in the improvement and benefit of their fields as well as ensuring the sale of their crops.
