Marcona almonds, the? Queen of Almonds,? are imported from Spain. They are shorter, rounder, softer, and sweeter than other almond varieties. These Romanico Marcona Almonds are fried in Romanico extra virgin olive oil and then sprinkled lightly in salt, which offers a delicious combination of buttery and salty flavors. There are three different preparations available: Blanched, fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lightly salted and unsalted, and blanched raw.
