Interesting press release, coming from Modesto, land of the late E & J Gallo (our former next door neighbors for 21 years).
Modesto is where the bulk of almonds in the US are grown. We used to live right across the street from a 700 acre almond orchard that grew for Blue Diamond. And from what I have found the almonds in Europe and Asia can't touch those from Modesto. And did we ever eat a lot of them as kids...
