Almendra Marcona Repelada are raw, whole Marcona almond kernels offered by the Spanish brand Alsane. Grown in Spain, they are characterized by their large size and rounded shape. Their brown skins have been removed, leaving pale kernels ready for use in the kitchen.
Marcona is a variety prized in confectionery, particularly for making traditional Spanish turrón. These almonds can be used whole to decorate cakes, chopped for fillings, or ground to make marzipan and almond-based doughs. Removing the skins allows for lighter-colored, more uniform mixtures.
As they are unroasted, they can be toasted or fried to suit their intended use. They are also suitable for savory dishes, sauces, and almond pastes.
