I LOVE roasted almonds...crunchy, flavorful....just a touch of salt. But if you do this yourself, like I do, there is one challenge and that is roasting almonds with their skins.I prefer them blanched and that can involve removing the skins via the blanching process.....plunging them into boiling water briefly and then into ice water and draining. Then the skins come off, but that can mean LOTS of work to take each nut, squeeze it between thumb and forefinger and hopefully have the skin come off. In some cases it results in nuts richocheting around the kitchen. In others the skin doesn't come off fully which means more work to clean it up.That's why I buy almonds already blanched and these have proven to be excellent. I just did two bags of them. One bag requires two sheet pan trays (I line them with foil) spread out the almonds evenly and then into a 350 oven for up to 20 minutes, turning them over about every five minutes to keep them from burning. No oil or salt at this stage. (With two bags, I had to obviously repeat this whole process so you have to hang around the kitchen while this all happens to keep an eye on things, but it is worth the effort.You have to be careful during the last five minutes or so because some nuts can turn black. I also find that one side of my oven is a bit hotter than the other, so I can wind up taking out one pan ahead of the other.Then I put them in a large bowl and let them sit and cool. The high temperature out of the oven helps complete the roasting process as they cool. Then I add a touch of salt and toss them all. Once completely cool, I will put some in a zip lock bag I keep in the freezer and the rest go into vacuum seal pouches for longer frozen storage. They stay crunchy and tasty for longer periods that way......although these are so tasty I am not sure there will be "a longer period."

Marcona almonds are the best! I eat them like they’re going out of style. I tossed these with a little olive oil and sea salt, and roasted them. Awesome!

Just delicious

Over all they were good, nice value. Only complaint was the texture, was a little too soft for my liking.

Some people said they have zero flavor. I have ordered the more expensive kind in the past. But I was going to air fry these for Christmas gifts. So I ordered these to try. So glad I did you get more for your money! They were just fine. They had flavor and didn’t taste old. They were fresh. I just don’t understand some people’s views.

Love them. Put in oven 325 until I smell them.

I've been buying Yupik nuts from Amazon for several years. They are always great quality and freeze nicely.

Very fresh and tasty. No skins which is healthy.
