Our Shakhurbai almonds grow in Samangan province, in the north of Afghanistan. An heirloom variety handed down for generations, these almonds are grown using traditional farming techniques. The fertile lands of this region provide an ideal environment for almond trees to thrive. The harvest season for Shakhurbai almonds spans from September to October, allowing the nuts to reach their full maturity and flavor profile. This produces Shakhurbai almonds that have flavor notes of vanilla and a sturdy, crunchy structure.
By working directly with family farms and village cooperatives to source true heirloom fruit and nut varieties, Ziba presents only the highest-quality agricultural products, many of which are grown wild.
