These extra large Spanish Marcona almonds are seasoned with smoky Pimentón de La Vera, the same paprika that gives chorizo its wonderfully smoky taste. Aromatic but not spicy, the paprika is the perfect seasoning for the rich, crunchy almonds. They are a flavorful tapa paired with your favorite drink or served with sliced chorizo or jamón.
Marcona almonds are native to Spain, growing in the arid lands near the Mediterranean Sea. The nuts are large and meaty, and not as hard as common almonds. They are a great source of healthy mono-unsaturated fats.
Pimentón de La Vera is Spain's famous smoked paprika. Whole mild peppers are smoked over smoldering encina oak wood, imparting an intense aroma. Milled into a rusty red powder, this paprika is the signature flavor of chorizo sausages and countless Spanish dishes.
