Our Process

From Orchard to Flour — Crafted with Purpose

One Nonpareil almond. Fully honored—across two brands.

Every step begins with the same
ingredient: the Nonpareil almond. We press it once and thoughtfully use what it provides to create two distinct products:

● Nonpareil Skincare — powered by cold-pressed Nonpareil almond oil
● Nonpareil Gold — crafted from the pressed almond cake, milled into a fine, defatted almond flour Nonpareil Skincare highlights this almond-first standard in their own story—orchard-grown Nonpareil almonds, cold-pressed around ~80°F, forming the “hero oil” at the center of their formulas.

“Food-grade handling and packaging standards apply to Nonpareil Gold products.”

How Nonpareil Gold Is Made

Our almond flour begins with premium Nonpareil almonds grown in Northern California and follows a carefully controlled process designed to deliver clean taste, low fat, and reliable performance for baking.

Grown in Northern California

We start with premium Nonpareil almonds grown in Northern California, known for their mild flavor, smooth skins, and consistent quality — ideal for producing high-performance almond flour.

Cold pressing, one press, two valuable outputs

We use mechanical cold pressing
to extract almond oil gently. Nonpareil Skincare specifically describes
cold-pressing around 80°F to preserve the oil’s natural nutrient
profile.

This pressing creates:

● Cold-pressed almond oil (for skincare)
● Pressed almond cake (also called press cake / pressed almond meal)

Almond oil, Nonpareil Skincare

The oil becomes the core ingredient for Nonpareil Skincare—positioned as an in-house, cold-pressed Nonpareil almond oil used across their line and hero formulas.

Pressed almond cake, Nonpareil Gold

After oil extraction, the remaining almond cake is naturally low in fat and rich in protein. This is the foundation of our defatted almond flour — lighter, cleaner, and more versatile than traditional almond flour. The defatted almond cake is finely milled into a smooth, consistent flour that performs beautifully in baking, cooking, and protein-rich recipes.

Nonpareil Gold, defatted almond flour

The result is Nonpareil Gold: a premium defatted almond flour made from pressed almond cake—an ingredient-forward way to use more of what the almond offers.

A shared beginning, two finished products

Nonpareil Gold and Nonpareil Skincare come from the same Nonpareil almond—one expressed as food-grade flour, the other as skincare-grade oil, each with its own purpose and experience.
