I ordered unsalted marcona almonds by mistake (instead of salted) and by the time I looked at my order confirmation, it had already shipped. I got them the next day. So rather than return them, I decided to doctor them up myself. I took a small jar, added some of the almonds, a tiny drizzle of Graza evoo, and a few grinds pink himalayan salt and "tumbled" the jar til it looked like everything was mixed well. Success! First of all, without the salt and tiny bit of evoo, the nuts are perfectly toasted and SO fresh!! I usually get Trader Joe's marcona almonds and lately theve been tiny, not roasted well and not very crunchy. I've also ordered some on Amazon that are hit and miss tasting good one time, then rancid or stale the next. These are excellent! Pricey, yes, they all are. But these are worth the extra. I will definitely buy again.

I use these almonds to make nut butter, and it is so delicious. I do not want anything artificial in my product, and these fit the bill. So delicious. The price point was good also because of the import fees, but I look forward to it going back down so I can continue to afford them.
