These delights are from the Caro brothers in Aragón, Spain. Fernando, Manuel and Pepe are third-generation chocolate makers, learning the trade from their father and grandfather. For their confections they buy 100% Forastero cacao grown on the Costa de Marfil, Africa. For this addictive treat, they take candied orange slices and hand dip them in 55% Caro chocolate.

This is a natural extension from OroLiquido, the popular Marcona Almond Butter. Just the right amount of cocoa powder is mixed with the butter to create a decadent treat.

Valencias are a bit larger than Marconas with a firmer texture. Almondeli Valencia almonds are fried in sunflower oil and sprinkled with sea salt. The sweetness of Valencia almonds is...
