Fried 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.
Our fried Marcona almonds are prepared is a traditional way, a method cherished in Spanish tapas bars across the country. Each almond is carefully blanched and then lightly fried in high-quality olive oil to achieve a perfectly golden crispness. A delicate sprinkle of sea salt enhances their inherent sweetness, creating an irresistible balance of flavours.
These aren’t just any almonds, they’re a gourmet snack that embodies the essence of Spanish culinary heritage. Whether you’re enjoying them on their own as a healthy and satisfying treat, pairing them with a glass of crisp sherry or a robust red wine, or adding them to a sophisticated cheeseboard, our fried Marcona almonds elevate any occasion. They also make a superb addition to salads, provide a delightful crunch to baked goods, or can be chopped and incorporated into savoury dishes for an authentic Mediterranean touch. Discover the wonderful taste and quality that make these Spanish fried Marcona almonds a truly sought-after delicacy.
