WINTERS, Calif. — The premium Marcona almond with its soft crunch and smooth texture is now being offered to retailers nationwide by Mariani Nut Company. This prized almond, typically identified with Spain, is in a class by itself.
Mariani’s Marcona almonds are blanched and roasted with a light coating of olive oil and a dash of sea salt. There are no artificial ingredients.
While Marconas are harmonious with cheese and fruit, they are as versatile as other popular almond varieties from California and can be found in salads and desserts. Confections such as a classic nougat brittle typically include Marconas. Almond lovers often add fresh thyme or rosemary to season these gems and enjoy Marconas alone as a snack-time favorite.
Slightly smaller and rounder than the more familiar California varieties, they pack the same nutritional punch with plenty of protein, fiber and unsaturated fats. Mariani’s Marconas are available in attractive stand-up, 6-ounce foil resealable packaging. The rich royal hues of purple, black and brown on the package are fitting for the almond known as “the queen of almonds.”.”
