Yupik Blanched Marcona Almonds, 2.2 lb (35.2 oz), Gluten-Free, Vegan, Kosher, Oil-Free, Raw Nuts, Unsalted, Skinless, Oil-Free, Source of Fiber, Healthy Snack

I never heard of Marcona almonds until I went to Spain last September. They were included in every hotel’s breakfast buffet and so I got to like them every day with breakfast. They weren’t easy to find at the stores in my area so I ordered these. I’m not sure how the almonds I had on my trip were prepared but they were not oily or seasoned - so I tried blanched. They’re not exactly what I had while away, a little blander than expected, so I roasted them with just a little olive oil and salt. Yum! They’re a great snack, healthy and delicious.

I had heard of marcona almonds, tho had never tried them. Ordered these marcona almonds; delicious, and very good quality. Put some in a pan, added a little olive oil and salt, then roasted briefly in oven. Delicious! I have ordered other products from Yupik, always good quality, and reasonable prices.

I know, many roll their eyes at vegan "cheese" and I used to as well until I had to give up meat for health reasons. Sure, I feel silly sometimes however I also feel great since stopping. The one thing I miss the most is cheese, cheese spread, nacho cheese, well....any cheese. So I found a recipe that called for blanched almonds so I bought these and followed through; DELICIOUS folks! No joke! It came out like a garlic cream cheese and I enjoyed every single bite!! My husband wanted a little snack and asked if we had almonds so I gave him these and he said they were good so 🤷🏻‍♀️. Oddly enough I havent just snacked on them but they turn out super creamy in recipes.

I love these Marcona almonds. I’ve bought them several times now. Most brands are roasted with seed oils, or if they’re roasted with olive oil they’re more than I want to spend, so I appreciate that I can buy them raw. I roast them at 350 for 8 minutes in my air fryer after tossing them in extra virgin olive oil and fine sea salt. They come out perfect. Hands down the best almonds I’ve ever had.

The almonds are tasty and just what I needed.

I took these nuts to a Xmas dinner one year ago, and when invited back this year, the host family asked me to bring these again !! They really are quite special.

I was excited to try these because I’d never had Marcona almonds before. I chose these because I wanted plain unsalted ones, and the price seemed good. But they weren’t very flavorful, even after I toasted them. They didn’t taste “off” or anything, just not much more exciting than regular commodity almonds, and less flavorful than quality raw Spanish almonds (and I have pretty sensitive taste). I used some in homemade almond butter and some in homemade milk, and they worked as well as any almonds. Next time I’d try a different brand of Marcona almonds or just buy regular ones.

So I bought these last December and just got around to using them. They were still very fresh. Missed my time last year to make our yearly turrón (nougat). I've bought some from another company and the flavor was a bit flat. These have a nice flavor and a good crunch.
