Full Description
Filippo Cea almonds meet real cocoa
Donna Francesca Almond Cream 60% is built around one main ingredient: Filippo Cea almonds, described by the producer as 100% Italian almonds, combined with cocoa powder, cane sugar, and skimmed milk powder to create a smooth, spreadable cream. Almonds make up 60% of the recipe, which is why the flavour leans toward almond first, with cocoa rounding out the taste rather than dominating it.
Donna Francesca produces this cream in Puglia, in southern Italy. Nivitaly, based in Abu Dhabi, imports it directly and is currently the only authorised seller of this product in the UAE, with delivery available across the Emirates.
How to enjoy it
This almond cream is designed to be versatile in both everyday and baking use:
• Spread on bread, toast, or brioche for breakfast
• Stirred into yogurt or spooned over porridge
• Used as a filling for cakes, tarts, or biscuits
• Added to homemade mousses or spoon desserts
• Paired with sliced fruit such as banana, pear, or strawberry
• Used as a topping for ice cream or plain yogurt
• Spread inside warm crepes or pancakes
How it is made
The almonds used in this cream are processed at low temperatures to preserve their natural oils and flavour, then lightly roasted to bring out the almond's aroma without overpowering its natural sweetness. Donna Francesca states that the cream is naturally rich in protein, fibre, and vitamins, coming from the almond content itself rather than any added ingredient.

Storage instructions
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight. This is especially important in the UAE's climate, since higher temperatures can soften the texture of the cream. Once opened, keep it in the same cool, dry conditions and use a clean, dry spoon each time.
FAQs
What ingredients does Donna Francesca Almond Cream 60% contain?
It is made with 60% Filippo Cea almonds, along with cane sugar, skimmed milk powder, and cocoa powder. It contains almonds and milk, and does not contain gluten based on its ingredient list.
How can I use Almond Cream 60%?
Beyond everyday spreading, it also works as a base for quick desserts. Warmed gently with a little cream, it can be turned into a fast ganache, or mixed into personalised spreads and mousse-style treats for something different from a regular toast-and-jam breakfast.
What is the difference between almond cream and almond paste?
Almond paste is made from 100% ground almonds with no other ingredients added. This almond cream contains 60% almonds along with milk, cocoa, and cane sugar. Both are naturally rich in fibre and protein because of their almond content.
How should I store the almond cream after opening?
Same as above: a cool, dry place away from heat. Its texture may shift slightly with temperature, which is normal and does not affect quality.
Is it normal to see oil on the surface of the cream?
Yes. Because this cream is handmade without stabilisers, natural oil from the almonds can rise to the surface over time. This is expected and not a quality issue. Stir the cream with a spoon before use to bring it back to its original texture.
Is Donna Francesca Almond Cream 60% available in the UAE?
Yes. Nivitaly, a premium Italian food importer based in Abu Dhabi, imports this product directly from Donna Francesca in Puglia, Italy, and delivers it across the UAE.
