Blue Diamond Growers sells almonds with a smoky taste, which are marketed as "Smokehouse" almonds. The almonds are not, in fact, smoked in a smokehouse. That smoky flavor comes from "natural hickory smoke favor" that is added as an ingredient.

This product tastes like almonds covered in bacon. It is what you come to expect what smokehouse flavoring tastes like.

They also help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, and can help protect against diabetes. We love to snack on them savoury, sweet or plain but almonds are probably the most versatile and widely used type of nut. They can be made into butters, milks, pastes and even liquers (Amaretto coffee anyone?)

Traditionally, a smokehouse is a windowless building with one door, a vent, smokestack, and of course, a stove for smoking. The building could be constructed of logs, brick, cinder blocks, or other materials that could withstand the smoking process.

The upper areas of smokehouses are blackened with smoke. A meat house has a solid wood floor, a smokehouse will have a brick pit in the center of the dirt floor, or sometimes a broken/cast-off cast iron pot, for the fire. Jefferson's smokehouse at Monticello is an integral part of the brick outbuildings.

The organization is headquartered in Sacramento, California, with two other manufacturing plants in Salida, California and Turlock, California.

Meat smokehouses are used to add flavor, color, and aroma to various meats, including pork, beef, poultry, and fish. Smokehouses were at one time used to smoke food for preservation, but refrigeration systems have effectively eliminated this use.

Blue diamonds are considered most beautiful and valuable when no secondary color is present but are pure blue. However, a pure blue diamond of light color may be considered less valuable than a green-blue or gray-blue diamond whose color is more vivid.
