Marcona Almonds

Bella Maria Marcona almonds, the “Queen of Almonds,” are imported from Spain. They are shorter, rounder, softer, and sweeter than the California variety. These blanched Marcona almonds are roasted in sunflower oil and then sprinkled with sea salt, offering a delicious taste. Only a small number of the world’s almonds come from Spain, but Spanish almond are known for their unique profiles and excellent, natural cultivation processes. European regulations do not require almonds to be pasteurized, so the almonds of all varieties maintain a more natural texture and flavor. "I am always discovering new and traditional products from amazing producers across Spain, and I’m excited to share some of my favorites with you through this 'Selected by José' label. I hope you’ll try something new and explore along with me! - José Andrés
