Almendra Marcona Frita con Sal y Aceite de Oliva by Ibendra consists of fried and salted Marcona almonds finished with olive oil. The product is made in Beniel in the Spanish autonomous community of Murcia. The almonds are first fried to develop a golden surface and firmer texture. Olive oil is added after frying, coating the almonds and contributing to a fuller flavor. The process creates a crisp exterior, while the center retains the variety’s characteristically mild and slightly oily texture. Salt enhances the natural nutty aroma without the additional seasonings used in the brand’s other products. This is the basic variety in Ibendra’s Marcona almond range, which also includes versions flavored with rosemary, cheese, and truffle. It can be served on its own as a savory snack or as part of an appetizer selection.
