Spanish Marcona Almonds
In Spain, there is a strong tradition of dried fruits and nuts. Marcona almonds in particular are very rare and much sought after. Native only to Spain, these large flat almonds have a richer, more intense flavor than ordinary almonds. The Marcona Almond, which is shorter and plumper than the typical North American Almond, is absolutely fantastic! Available roasted, lightly fried or salted, these treats are sure to become one of your favorites. Their higher fat content gives them an unsurpassed taste and texture. Great for cooking, baking, and especially snacking on! Available all year.
