Almonds, as well as the oil pressed from them, were well known in Greece and Italy long before the birth of Christianity. Almonds are believed to be among the earliest cultivated foods; possibly before 3,000 BCE. In fact, almonds and pistachios are the only nuts mentioned in the Bible. While the almond is a native to the Mediterranean climate region of the Middle East, it was spread by humans in ancient times along the shores of the Mediterranean into northern Africa and southern Europe and more recently transported to other parts of the world, notably California in the USA.
In the 1700's Franciscan monks brought almond trees from Spain and planted them on the grounds of the missions along El Camino Real, California's first coastal road that connected San Diego in the south to Sonora in Northern California. However, California's damp coastal climate proved to be less than ideal for the almond trees that needed warmer, drier weather. The trees thrived successfully when planted further inland.
100% of almond trees are pollinated by honeybees; making the honeybee an integral part in the continuation of the almond tree. It is interesting to note that the pollination of California's almonds is the largest annual managed pollination event in the world, with close to one million hives involved in the pollination of this popular nut.
