Native to Spain alone, yet prized the world over, Marcona Almonds are a true culinary phenomenon. Enjoyed for thousands of years in their homeland, these wonderful almonds are becoming increasingly popular with the nation's top chefs. Unique in shape and texture, Marconas have an unrivaled sweet, delicate flavor.
Ours are roasted over wood fire and dusted with sea salt. Marconas pair perfectly with goat cheeses and are ideal in salads.

Comments about Marcona Almonds:
not the almond flavor I was expecting. Way too delicate and just not worth the price. But they were beautifully crisp.

Comments about Marcona Almonds:
These are the nuts you eat with Spanish Tapas, wines, cheeses and fruits. A delicious and mild spanish almond, I went through the package way too quickly. Well worth the investment if you want to display your food knowledge.
