True Marcona Almonds are grown only on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. They’re shorter and flatter than California almonds, with a distinctive flavour and a light, crunchy texture. TJ's has taken that flavour profile a step up by adding truffle to the mix. They’re a real treat. You can use them in recipes, present them as an hors d’oeuvre or eat them right out of the bag. They’re excellent with a glass of crisp white wine – perhaps a Sauvignon Blanc or Côtes du Rhône. We’ve found them to be quite difficult to resist; you may want to err on the side of caution and have several bags on hand in case of emergencies. And napkins. You’ll need napkins. Trust us on this one.

Marcona Almonds tend to be expensive, but at Vancou-Vert Trading, we have them at a great price, shipped straight to your door anywhere in Canada.
