Maryland Smoke Almonds

Maryland is a specialty brand focused on high-quality nuts, seeds, and dried fruit mixtures, primarily known for its 'Rauchmandeln' (smoke-flavored almonds) and 'Studentenfutter' (trail mix). The brand was established by the German food company Herbert Kluth GmbH & Co. KG, which is headquartered in Ahrensburg, near Hamburg.

While the raw almonds are sourced internationally (often from regions like California or the Mediterranean), the final processing, including the specialized oil-free roasting and flavoring, takes place at the company's own facilities in Germany. The brand targets a modern, health-conscious demographic by emphasizing natural preparation methods and sustainable packaging solutions. Ownership remains within the founding Kluth family, maintaining its status as a medium-sized, independent German enterprise.
