Product Description: One of our two unique Spanish almonds, Marconas are really large, with tons of nutty, milky flavor to go with it, thanks to a higher fat content. The Marcona almond is used predominantly in pastries and baked goods. They are quite famous around the world and very different than almonds here in America - both in flavor and shape. Grown in the Mediterranean coast of Spain - from Malaga to Tarragona, the Marcona is easily recognizable by it's unique light brown, almost holey shell. Try a concocting a Marcona almond nougat and tell us how it went. Produced by Mitica, Spain.

Though I haven't purchased this specific item from Amazon, I can say that the Marcona almonds I get from my local health/gourmet food store are, in fact, wonderful. Buttery and rich flavor accented with a sprinkle of sea salt and a satisfying crunch, I am not sure if I can ever go back to eating the standard almond. I recommend these served with a fruit and cheese plate, crushed and served with salad, or mixed with honey and served over a small scoop of organic goat's milk ice cream. Yum.
