This is the Mediterranean almond par excellence, coated with oil and a pinch of salt. Due to its undeniable flavour, texture and quality properties, it stands as a benchmark among the other almonds that are grown in Spain. Due to its nutritional qualities and its high fat content, this variety is highly appreciated by the nougat, chocolate, bakery and confectionery industries for preparing nougat bars, chocolate bars, Christmas sweets, etc. In addition, fried peeled Marcona almonds and roasted natural Marcona almonds are great snacks in many areas of Spain.
