Divina is a new almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill) D.A. Webb] cultivar from the almond breeding program of Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries (IRTA; Catalonia, Spain). This cultivar is characterized by its hard-shelled nut, late blooming time, and high productivity. ‘Divina’ is self-fertile and exhibits excellent horticultural performance and chemical composition. Its kernel is attractive with a medium size (1.2 g), comparable to ‘Marcona’ and ‘Nonpareil’. Additionally, ‘Divina’ stands out for its high fat content, oil stability, and kernel firmness.
