Almond Protein Suppliers - Wholesale & Bulk

Find GFSI-certified almond protein suppliers on Nutrada offering defatted fine powder and mild-tasting protein from California and Spanish origins. Almond protein suppliers on Nutrada provide 50-60% protein content with all essential amino acids for plant-based applications.

Almond Protein Types and Forms

Almond protein is available as a single grade defatted powder, typically containing 50-60% protein on a dry basis. This fine powder is produced by cold-pressing almonds to extract oil, then drying and milling the remaining almond cake. Unlike other plant proteins that offer isolate and concentrate grades, almond protein maintains a consistent form with mild nutty taste and light cream colour. The protein retains all nine essential amino acids from the original almonds, making it a complete protein source for plant-based formulations.

Almond Protein Origin and Supply

California produces 80% of the world's almond supply, with the Central Valley harvest running August to October creating seasonal pricing peaks buyers on forward contracts should factor in. Processing into protein powder is concentrated near growing regions, with established operators including Harris Woolf Almonds and Treehouse California Almonds supplying food manufacturers globally.

Spain is the second largest origin, focusing on Marcona variety processing with established organic certification infrastructure.

Australia represents a growing origin with expanding orchards in Victoria and South Australia, though processing capacity remains concentrated in North America.

Buyers evaluating nut-based protein options often compare almond protein alongside cashew protein and peanut protein within theproteins category on Nutrada.

Bulk Almond Protein

Almond protein requires storage below 25°C and below 12% moisture to maintain its 12-18 month shelf life. Standard packaging uses 20-25 kg multi-wall bags with moisture barrier linings to prevent protein degradation and rancidity. Verify the particle size specification with suppliers before ordering, as fine powder applications require different milling parameters than textured applications. The protein content can vary between 50-60% depending on the defatting efficiency, so request batch-specific certificates of analysis to confirm protein assay meets your formulation requirements.

Organic Almond Protein

California holds the deepest supply of USDA NOP certified organic almond protein, with established organic almond orchards in the Central Valley supplying certified processors. Spain offers EU Organic certified almond protein from Marcona variety processing, though supply volumes remain limited compared to California. Most certified suppliers can provide dual USDA-EU certification for export flexibility, though minimum order quantities typically increase for organic grades.

Almond Protein Private Label

Consumer packaging formats include protein powder pouches from 250g to 1kg, resealable jars, and single-serving sachets for retail distribution. MOQ for private label production typically starts at 500-1000 kg depending on packaging format. Confirm the flavour profile requirements before production begins, as natural almond protein carries a mild nutty taste that may require masking agents for neutral-flavoured end products.

Almond Protein Manufacturers

Manufacturers concentrate in California near almond growing regions, with processing facilities maintaining GFSI certification for export markets. Request batch-specific certificates of analysis, microbiological reports including salmonella and E.coli testing, and nutrient profiles showing amino acid composition. Nutrada lists GFSI-certified almond protein suppliers from California, Spain, and Australia, covering defatted powder across conventional and organic supply. All orders are placed directly with certified suppliers, with no intermediary.
