Dubbed the "Queen of Almonds" by the culinary world, Marcona is a gourmet variety of almonds. They have a distinct appearance, texture, and flavor that set them apart from other almonds. Roasted Marcona almonds are shorter and rounder and have a higher oil and moisture content to them. This gives Marconas their distinctive rich, buttery, sweet flavor, and their soft and smooth mouth feel. They are almost reminiscent of Macadamia nuts in texture but have a delicate sweet taste comparable to almond essence found in baked goods. Roasted Marcona almonds have long been a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine and have been steadily gaining traction in the broader food scene all around the world. Like many nuts, they have great versatility in both sweet and savory dishes. Add them to roasted asparagus or broccoli for a sweet and nutty contrast of crunchy texture, sprinkle them into cookies or cakes, or even snack on salted Marcona almonds just as they are! This item is sold per 9oz pouch.
