Borges Marcona Almonds (130g)

Borges Marcona Almonds

Marcona almonds are rounder, plumper, and shorter than the more common California almonds. They have a smooth, sometimes easily removable shell, and their texture is notably soft, moist, and buttery—often compared to macadamia nuts.
They are celebrated for their delicate, sweet, and mild flavour with low acidity with a taste that is richer and more intense than standard almonds, making them highly sought after by chefs and food enthusiasts
Highly versatile in the kitchen, they can be enjoyed roasted or fried and often with a touch of salt or olive oil. They are used in traditional Spanish confections like nougat (turrón) and marzipan, added to salads, rice dishes, and as a garnish for meats and fish, paired with cheeses, especially Spanish varieties, and included in desserts and pastries.

Marcona almonds are a nutrient-dense food, offering:
– High levels of protein, healthy monounsaturated fats, and dietary fibre.
– Rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, calcium, magnesium, and iron.
– Low in sugars and sodium, with no cholesterol.

Whether you’re enjoying them on their own as a healthy and satisfying treat, pairing them with a glass of fine Spanish wine or a robust cheese board, Borges Marcona Almonds elevate any occasion. Their versatility extends to the kitchen too – chop them for a delightful crunch in salads, incorporate them into your favourite baked goods for a rich, nutty flavour, or use them as a sophisticated garnish for both sweet and savoury dishes.

Discover the wonderful quality and exquisite taste that make Borges Marcona Almonds a truly sought-after delicacy for discerning palates.
