From Albert Bevia:
For this recipe I used raw blanched marcona almonds, but you can use any type of almonds that you like. However, I do recommend you use marcona almonds. They have a heart-like shape to them and offer an incredible flavor & texture. What really takes these roasted almonds to the next-level is the extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil is what cooks the almonds through while they are roasting and gives them that incredible flavor. For this recipe I used an Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Apollo Olive Oil. This is their new ¨Miller´s Favorite¨. Basically the best EVOO I have tasted from Apollo. If you´re a fan of EVOO like me, you need this olive oil in your life.
