According to the Whole Foods Market UK Facebook page, Baileys Almande blends “the luscious, nutty flavours of sweet almond oil and almond essence (extracted from crushed almonds) with a touch of real vanilla”.

With more than half a million people in the UK now following a vegan diet, we expect this tipple will be very popular indeed.
