Marcona almonds are a much sought-after type of Spanish almond and are characterized by a texture more similar to macadamia nut, rounder than the more common California almond. The flavor is sweet and buttery with a crunchy texture: very moist to the taste and with a very delicate core, Marcona has an aroma and flavor reminiscent of freshly baked goods.
The fried and lightly salted almonds are considered the "Queens of the Spanish Aperitif," perfect for a gourmet break: great on their own or paired with a good board of Iberian cheeses and cured meats.
What makes Spanish almonds special?
Almondeli almonds come from the many almond trees on the property that cover more than 200 hectares, of which the typologies grown are Marcona and Valencia, fruits of a very long-lived tree, Prunus Amygdalus. The almond tree can also reach heights of about ten meters with white or slightly pink five-petaled flowers, and its productivity increases with age until it reaches a maximum around eighteen years of age: 75-90 quintals of almonds with hull and shell per year.
Harvesting takes place mainly in the summer when the seed reaches a solid state. Mediterranean almond farming is mostly articulated in small family-run almond groves, just like Almondeli, which is why harvesting, unlike the Californian realities, is still done manually.
