Our Story

We believe in the goodness of nature. For years we searched for a dairy alternative that left us feeling vital and energised, whilst satisfying that craving for milky goodness. We wanted almond milk that was made from real almonds, not almond flavouring. We wanted a creaminess that was derived from real foods, not thickeners, preservatives and fillers. To us, this meant quality, additive-free, pure and of course, natural. From this simple concept Luz Almond was born with a purpose of sharing a passion for living well for the health conscious Australian.

One of the most important issues for team Luz was finding a way to preserve the goodness of each almond when producing on a commercial scale. To do this, we decided to cold-press the milk; a slow-speed process that ensures the maximum amount of vitamins, minerals and enzymes are retained after production. As a consequence, we are not in favour of heat-treating or high speed blending (which some people mistakenly call cold pressing), as they adversely impact nutritional value. After scouring the globe, we have sourced proven cold press production technology from Spain that will not compromise the nutritional value and artisanal quality we pride ourselves on.

Our own individual health journey has spiraled into what is now Luz Almond – a health conscious food company that aims to bring homemade products into your kitchen for your convenience. After uncovering the value and versatility of almonds and implementing them into our everyday lives, it is with gratitude and pleasure that we bring to you the purity that is Luz Almond.

Understanding the Difference Between Allergies & Intolerances

Among the many reasons why people start drinking almond milk and other dairy alternatives is due to a food allergy or intolerance. This often means we are forced to limit our intake or rule out the offending substance, however the actual allergy or intolerance is often  due to a single compound within the food. The…

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Luz Almond products suitable for Vegans?

Yes, Luz Almond does not use any animal products however if honey is present it will be clearly identified in the ingredients list.

Are Luz Almond products gluten free?

Yes, Luz Almond is committed to remaining gluten free.

Do Luz Almond products contain soy?

No, Luz Almond is committed to remaining soy free.

Can I consume Luz Almond products when I am pregnant?

While the Luz Almond team is proud to include the expertise of two fully qualified and accredited practising dietitians, the advice provided by Luz Almond and this website is general information only and should not be replaced by advice provided by your health care professional. We do however ensure every effort is taken to ensure our almond milk products are safe and are produced in a safe and sterile environment.

What kind of almonds does Luz Almond use?

Activated Australian almonds.

What kind of water do you use?

We use pure filtered water.

Why cold-pressed?

The almonds are pressed using a hydraulic cold-presser that applies a large amount of pressure to extract the maximum amount of milk from each nut. This process does not apply any heat that compromises the nutritional integrity of the end product, ensuring the nutrients and enzymes stay intact.

Can I order Luz Almond products online?

No, we do not currently offer online ordering. Please see below for our list of current stockists.

I want my favourite store / grocer / cafe / fitness studio to carry Luz Almond products

Request Luz Almond at the location! Stores are far more likely to order our products when they know there is already customer demand for them. Also, please let us know using the contact form below. We love to hear from our customers!

Can I freeze Luz Almond milk?

While we don’t recommend freezing our almond milk, it has been tried and tested and found to be effective. However we cannot guarantee the shelf life if frozen. Remember to remove some milk beforehand to allow for expansion when frozen.

Why is Luz Almond milk more expensive than other brands?

This question often makes us wonder, how are others making almond milk so cheap? Making almond milk the right way is expensive. Maintaining a raw, perishable product, paying a premium to source only Australian nuts and using advanced cold-pressing technology is the only way we believe it should be done.

Unlike a lot of cheaper almond milk, our product is cold-pressed and bottled in glass. Moreover, the percentage of almonds in most other brands is significantly lower than ours. That means more flavour enhancers, preservatives and additives, and less of the real, natural goodness which comes from the almonds themselves.

Do you add sugar to any of your almond milk flavours?

No refined sugar is added to our flavoured milks. The sugar content identified on the nutritional panel of some of our flavoured milks refers to the naturally occurring sugar which comes from the addition of dates and maple syrup to some of our flavours.

Why does Luz Almond milk have a shorter shelf life than other almond milks on the market?

At Luz Almond we are committed to keeping our products as close to their natural state as possible. For this reason we do not pasteurise our product or add any chemicals or preservatives to extend shelf life, as this is not what nature intended.

What percentage of almonds is in Luz Almond milk?

12% – This may not seem like a lot, however most almond milks contain a mere 2-4% almonds and use oils, sugar and other additives to improve the flavour and texture! Having experimented with varying proportions of almonds, we have found our current recipe to produce a smooth, delicate and delightful flavoured almond milk while taking into consideration the cost of the raw materials, specifically the cost of almonds.

Why is Luz Almond milk unpasteurised?

Our almond milk is raw, which means it hasn’t undergone the harmful process of pasteurisation that involves heating and consequently destroying many of the important vitamins and minerals present in the raw, unadulterated product.

What is the difference between Luz Almond milk and the almond milk that comes in tetra packs?

Quality! At Luz Almond we believe in quality without compromise, and this means no additives or preservatives. Our almond milk contains a higher percentage of almonds than most other almond milks found in tetra packs. As a result of this, the tetra pack almond milks are generally full of other, (often hard to pronounce / spell) ingredients such as emulsifiers, flavour “enhancers” and thickeners. Our products contain a short list of all natural, easily identifiable ingredients that you can pronounce. We also use a cold-press process unlike other almond milk brands.

Why is Luz Almond milk packaged in glass bottles?

Other than the obvious reason – it looks divine – we chose glass to bottle our milk because it is safer, cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Plus think of all the amazing things you can do with the bottles afterwards – use it decoratively, as a vase or even a water bottle!

I notice the product separates, why does it do this?

This is just the denser nut layer separating from the water. This separation is due to the purity of the product – there are no chemicals or artificial ingredients added to stop this from happening. All you need to do is give the milk a quick shake, and voila! It is good to go!

Does Luz Almond milk need to be refrigerated?

Yes, it is a raw product with no preservatives or additives and should be stored between 1 and 3 degrees Celsius for optimum shelf life.
