The almond is the fruit of the almond tree (*Prunus dulcis*), a tree of Asian origin that has been cultivated in Spain for thousands of years.

The Marcona variety, known as “the queen of the Spanish Levante,” is considered the best almond variety in the world due to its flavor and unique characteristics.

This early-flowering almond requires the presence of other compatible varieties to aid in its pollination, making it a particularly special crop.

It is a round, plump, and sweet almond with a low bitterness. When raw, it is relatively crunchy with a mild and slightly sweet flavor, but when processed, its aroma and taste become much more intense.
