VARIETY

The Nonpareil Marketing Group consists of Nonpareil, Kapareil, Milow, and Jeffries. Nonpareil almonds are the most common of these four types. Nonpareils constitute fifty-one percent of all almonds produced in California. They were created in 1879 by A. T. Hatch, in Suisun California. They were among the first almond varieties created in California and have proved themselves successful from the beginning. Nonpareils are considered to be the most important almond variety in California because of their continually high productivity and high market demand

The Nonpareil variety is harvested early in the season. This early harvest is advantageous to the final quality of the nut because the Nonpareil, being poorly sealed and having a paper thin shell, can be susceptible to worm and bird damage. Harvesting early lessens this problem tremendously. But, its poor seal and thin shell become a benefit in shell removal. Chip and Scratch is lower, in general, for the Nonpareils, considering most of this specific damage comes from the shelling process. Seventy percent of the Nonpareils are shelled.

the most important California type of almond


Explanation:
Latin: Prunus Communis

Pareil (French) would mean "similar" in English. Actually, I am not quite sure what language you want or what your question really is.

des amandes Nonpareil


Explanation:
That is how you'd say it in French.


http://supertoinette.com/fiche_amande.htm

l'amande Nonpareil, variétés étrangères, la plus commercialisée, d'origine californienne.
La Marcona, amandes en provenance d'Espagne, de goût légèrement amer, pas trop grasse et convient pour les macarons et pralinés, et utilisée en décoration.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jean-Luc Dumont: yes in French - la "cadillac" des amandes de Californie - surely a spin-off of the French "sans pareil" meaning: unparagoned, unparalleled, unequaled, unapproached, unsurpassed
