The almond harvest
In Castelldans, almond harvesting is an activity that has been an integral part of agricultural life for generations. Every year, this period marks a special moment, where farmers devote themselves with passion and effort to the harvesting of one of the most prized fruits of our land. After the summer, when the cherries, nectarines and peaches have been harvested, it is then time to focus on the almonds. Meanwhile, the olives are in the ripening phase, known as envero, preparing to be picked in November.
With this combination of harvests, Castelldans demonstrates its ability to maintain a constant and diversified agricultural cycle, which reflects the essence of our community.
The Importance of the almond harvest
Almond harvesting is not just agricultural work; it is, rather, a moment of great importance for the entire community of Castelldans. In fact, the almond is one of the star products of our cooperative, and therefore its harvest requires a careful combination of traditional knowledge and modern technology. To carry out this task successfully, the farmers use specialized machinery that allows them to collect the almonds with the utmost care, thus guaranteeing their quality. This technological process is undoubtedly vital to ensure that each almond reaches the final consumer in the best conditions, offering an excellent product that reflects the efforts of our land.
Transformation of the Cooperative
Once collected, the almonds are transported to the Cooperativa del Camp de Castelldans . Another equally important process begins here: the processing and selection of the almonds. At the cooperative, we ensure that each almond is processed under strict quality controls, maintaining its freshness and flavor. This process ensures that the almonds that reach the market are of the best quality, reflecting the collective effort of our farmers
