Catalan Gourmet Largueta almonds are lightly salted late-ripening almonds fried and toasted in Spanish extra virgin olive oil.
Almonds are a type of drupe that originated from ancient times in the Mediterranean. The growth of these small nutty plants is almost entirely dependent on bees for pollination. Almonds also need very hot summers and cool winters to grow. They are a great source of Vitamin E, antioxidants, nutrients, magnesium, and fiber. Many countries have their own almond varieties, and Spain is no exception. One of the most notable Spanish varieties is Largueta, a type of smooth, flat, and long almond with a hard shell. They usually flower and mature late, making them slightly sweeter than regular. A wide variety of almonds as well as peanuts, truffle corns, pumpkin seeds, green peas, and more can be found in our selection of nuts!
