Does anyone happen to know if there is a place in Geneva that sells bitter almonds? I need it in order to make a Swedish cheesecake (ostkaka). Just tried to make one without that half bitter almond, and it just doesn't taste like ostkaka...
Thanks,

bio almonds from Migros (only in big Migros shops) are quite bitter, some more than
others, you could try these. otherwise maybe at the world spice shop which is behind Eglise de
St Gervais.

Hi Alice! Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid the Migros almonds are not quite what I'm looking for. Bitter almonds and sweet almonds are two different kinds. The bitter ones are actually poisonous to consume other than in extremely small quantities (like 1/2-1 grated almond in a whole cake) and have a very strong and bitter flavour that normal almonds don't have.
Anyway, I'll try the world spice shop (wasn't aware of it)! Thanks for letting me know about it.
