Lightly fried in oil and finished with salt, they offer a softer bite and richer mouthfeel than typical supermarket almonds. Packaged in a 1 lb (453 g) bag, they are ready to enjoy straight from the bag or used to elevate salads, tapas, charcuterie boards, and desserts.

What makes Marcona almonds different from regular almonds?

Marconas are a distinct Spanish variety characterized by a flatter, more rounded silhouette and a softer texture. Their natural sweetness and tender crunch set them apart from the firmer, more astringent flavor of common almonds.

How are MARKY'S Marcona almonds prepared and seasoned?

These almonds are lightly fried in oil to develop a deeper, nutty aroma and then salted to enhance their natural sweetness. The minimal processing preserves the delicate flavors while adding a savory touch that makes them satisfying on their own.

How can I use Marcona almonds in cooking and entertaining?
