Black almond milk

This almond milk is a traditional Sicilian product made with almonds of the 'Pizzuta di Avola' variety. It is used as a base for alcoholic drinks, especially enjoyed during the summer. It is served ice-cold. Today the Cosaruci company offers an almond milk mix that can be easily made in your own home. Made only with natural ingredients, with no preservatives or colouring, this version is characterised by 100% almonds with their dark skin. On the mouth this drink shows a pleasant floury texture due to the presence of finely chopped almonds. The almond milk is made with 'Pizzuta d'Avola' almonds, a native variety from Avola, that is also used for the production of candy-coated almonds. This variety is part of the Slow Food certification that distinguishes itself by its unique aromatic profile, good texture and excellent nutrients; these almonds are a source of unsaturated fat, polyphenol, vitamin E and magnesium. This version is richer thanks to the use of the unblanched almonds.
