Pinot Spiced Marcona Almonds
There’s little dispute that the best tasting, most buttery and crunchiest nuts in the world are Marcona almonds! Originally from Spain, now grown also in California, these little gems take on virtually any flavor you want to add.
They’re a perfect addition to your Napa Style Charcuterie & Cheese Platter when entertaining or, serve them all on their own as a grab and munch snack. (Just be sure to make plenty, as you and your guests will want to eat them by the handful)!
