Plaza de España Fried Marcona Almonds — Spain
Spain is home to over a dozen varieties of almonds, but Marcona is the undisputed queen. Rounder, plumper, moister, and more delicate than the almonds most Americans know, Marcona almonds have a natural sweetness and buttery richness that sets them apart entirely. Plaza de España — the gourmet food brand from Despaña, New York’s premier Spanish food importer — sources their Marconas directly from Spain and fries them lightly in olive oil with a touch of sea salt. The result is a snack of rare simplicity and quality: crisp, golden, and deeply satisfying.
These almonds are exceptional on their own, but truly shine alongside a cheese and charcuterie board, a glass of Fino Sherry, or any crisp white or sparkling wine. A pantry staple for anyone who takes their entertaining seriously.
