Where does Lush purchase these almonds?

We make ground almond extract in-house, using varying methods to soak the ground nuts.

Lush UK* mainly source ground almonds from Almendrehesa, a Spanish supplier based in Granada, from whom we also purchase organic almond oil. To produce ground almonds, they use a mix of around 10% regeneratively grown organic almonds and 90% conventional almonds. All almonds come from the Andalusia region, with 99% of crops being rain-fed. You can read more about Almendrehesa’s regenerative farming techniques on our ground almond page.
