Valencia almonds – roasted and salted with lemon and pepper
From 8,05 €
Valencia almonds – Spanish specialty with citrus and pepper
Valencia almonds are one of Spain’s most renowned nuts and for centuries have been an important part of both Spanish cuisine and the culture around tapas. They originate from the Valencia region in eastern Spain, where the climate of hot summers and mild winters provides ideal conditions for almond trees.
These almonds differ from many other varieties by being larger, flatter, and more elongated. The smooth, glossy surface and firm structure make them visually appealing and provide a crunch that lasts—even when used in hot dishes.
The flavor profile is rich, sweet, and nutty with a subtle bitterness that adds balance. When the almonds are roasted and combined with salt, lemon, and pepper, they develop an intense and fresh character, where the aromatic citrus and warm seasoning highlight the nuts’ natural flavor. The result is an almond that works both as a refined snack and as a culinary element in dishes where you want flavor with an edge.
Characteristics:
- Origin: Valencia region, Spain
- Size and shape: Large, flat, and elongated
- Flavor: Rich, sweet with a slight bitterness, enhanced by lemon and pepper
- Texture: Crunchy and firm, even in hot dishes
- Tradition: Grown in a climate with long sunny summers and mild winters

- Serve as a snack or tapas with wine or beer
- Use in salads as a crunchy element
- Add to baked goods or as a topping on desserts
- Use in hot dishes for extra depth and crunch
