Marcona almonds are considered the best in the world.They are grown only along the Spanish Mediterranean coast.The soil is boxy and dry soil.The result is slightly chunky almonds with a sweet, buttery taste and crispy slightly grainy texture.Many people believe that the texture is a mix between macadamia nuts and almonds.Traditional almonds are experienced as woody, dry and compact compared to Marconas which are like velvet in the mouth.
