Marcona almonds are a type of sweet, gourmet almond from Spain that is very popular in Mediterranean countries. A Marcona almond is far sweeter, moister, and softer than the classic almond variety with a buttery flavour and texture and it has a delicate aroma.

Marcona is the best known variety of almonds. It is a round and fat almond and with a low percentage of bitterness, which is excellent for frying as it has less oil in its composition.

Marcona almonds can be eaten in the same manner as typical almonds, but with their appealing mouthfeel and unique taste, these nuts turn an ordinary dish into something special. Try the specialty almonds in tortes, sautéed in oil and sprinkled over a salad or served with many cheeses.

Carmelized pecan nuts can be eaten alone, with coffee or to give a touch of distinction to certain dishes or desserts. They also combine spectacularly with cheese or give a special touch to different salads.
