Sanniti Fried and Salted Spanish Marcona Almonds,1 Lb | Imported from Spain

These are delicious and a little addictive. Marcona almonds are not quite as hard/firm as other almonds. Being fried adds a nice little crunch. Nice and salty (could be a little more than some like). My husband also finds Marcona almonds digest better.

These almonds had no salt or olive oil taste. They also tasted stale and this was on opening the day after receipt. They went in the trash as they were inedible. After this experience I read the reviews and found 2 types of reviews, ones who were pleased by the flavor, oil and salt level and another group that was as disappointed as we were. From this I am assuming there is a quality control issue which I hope will be addressed by the supplier.

These are the best almonds I’ve had in years. The first marcona’s came from a higher-end grocery store in my area. But then I moved 10+years ago, and I haven’t seen them since. But now I can get them from Sanniti, and they’re exactly as tasty and special as I remembered. I won’t eat them all the time—they’re a bit of a luxury—but boy, when I do, I sure will enjoy ‘em!

I'm a nutrition specialist. I know a lot about nuts... which have the healthiest fat content, omega-3/6 ratios, which are best for different reasons, etc. One thing that always bothers me is WHYYYY some companies use oils, specifically inflammatory vegetable and seed oils, to roast nuts when nuts have their own, natural oils! They turn a perfectly healthy snack into inflammatory garbage, ruining whatever nuts are roasted.That having been...typed, these marcona almonds are DELICIOUS! Olive is a fruit and one of the only 4 healthy oils for the human body, all from fruit (avocado, coconut, olive, palm). This olive oil is strictly for flavor, since almonds do create their own oil when roasted. Yes, olive oil is healthy but unnecessary in this case, therefore, strictly flavor.My only problem with this is the packaging. The picture indicates a much sturdier, possibly ziplocked bag. My almonds arrived in a bag as thin as saran wrap. I was afraid they'd be rancid, based on the flimsy packaging but to my surprise, they're wonderful! I put them into a ziplock to preserve freshness and would happily purchase from this company again.

I don't get the bad reviews here. These almonds are amazing 😃. Do people not understand what exactly is a marcona almond? I will definitely reorder regularly. Thank you!

Update May 2025: I had read reviews but decided to try them and put them on subscribe. My first few bags were really good. They were a little bit oiled and had plenty of sea salt. Delicious. Then I got an order today. When I opened the Amazon pkg and took the bag of almonds out, I noticed they seemed dry and I couldn't see any hint of salt. I opened the bag...the almonds were completely dry, no salt. I took a whiff. RANCID! I tasted one. Absolutely rancid. Horrible. And these were $18.99, price had gone way up. So I'm not taking any chances. I canceled my subscribe and save. I'll go back to Trader Joe's and get their truffle salt marcona almonds. BUYER BEWARE. These are not returnable.Update March 2025: A good thing to note, these are made with olive oil, not sunflower oil, or canola like others, so these are actually better for you.I had read reviews that the package was open for some people, mine was slightly open...the plastic bag these are packaged in is very flimsy, very lightly sealed and I figure as they're bouncing around in the box or Amazon package, they might open. Mine had a few almond escapees but the nuts were fresh and very good. I usually buy Trader Joe's black truffle and sea salt marcona almonds but thought I'd try these. Not as good as TJs, but they are just sea salt and they are still delicious. I may order again just to see if they come slightly opened again. But with a Trader Joe's nearby, I'll only get these if for some reason I can't get to TJs.They weren't dry, they had the right amount of REAL olive oil and salt. Softer texture than a regular almond...that's why I love them!

I gave my husband these almonds for Christmas. They had arrived on time and he was pleased to find them in his stocking. We left for a monthlong vacation the next day, so they went unopened until early February.Then I went to serve them on a salad and they had gone RANCID! this despite the label (in photo) which said they were “best by 12/31/25”. Can’t get a refund and very disappointed. Be fore-warned and don’t buy these! They are going in the trash!

A bit greasy. Doesn’t seem to be high quality
