By all means try to get truly raw almonds. You can still get them direct from small suppliers, even though large commercial distributors may have to pasturize.
http://livingtreecommunity.com/ and http://livingnutz.com/ both still can provide raw almonds.
That being said, I like to alternate with other nuts, brazil, macadamia, and hazelnuts, for example. Note that besides flavor, each nut has a unique characteristic with regard to spoilage and separation (how long they will keep in the fridge). Overall, I find that almond milk is the most stable, brazil nut milk less so, and macadamia the least -- plan to drink mac nut milk within a day or so.
Long live living nuts (like those of us on this forum :~).
