FAQ
Why are Marcona almonds more expensive than regular almonds?
Marcona trees are highly delicate, require a specific Mediterranean climate, and produce lower annual yields. Additionally, growers often dry-farm them using natural rainfall. This process results in a more concentrated flavor but requires a more labor-intensive harvest.
Are they always served fried and salted?
No. While frying in oil and salting is the traditional Spanish preparation that highlights their buttery profile, you can also buy them raw or blanched. These raw formats are ideal for high-end baking, paste manufacturing, and confectionery production.
How should I store bulk Marcona almonds to maintain freshness?
Because of their higher natural oil content, Marcona almonds can oxidize faster than standard dry varieties. Therefore, we recommend storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dark warehouse for up to 3 months. For extended commercial shelf life, cold storage preserves them for up to 6 months.
