Brouwhoeve Marcona: The queen of almonds

In the world of gastronomy, the Marcona almond is renowned. This almond is shorter, rounder and sweeter than the ordinary variety and has an almost creamy texture. The Tonda family, master chocolatiers since 1793, select only the finest Marcona almonds before roasting them until golden brown. In this “Extra Fina” bar, they are generously coated in extra-finely rolled dark chocolate.

At Brouwhoeve, we appreciate the harmony in this bar. The dark chocolate is powerful enough to please the cocoa lover, yet refined enough not to overpower the delicate flavour of the Marcona almond. The result is a textural interplay of the highest order: the chocolate melts away silkily, while the almond provides a brittle, almost marzipan-like experience. This is more than a chocolate bar; it is a tribute to the richness of the Spanish landscape.

Buying Marcos Tonda Extra Fine Dark Chocolate with Marcona almonds means choosing an exclusive delicacy; a golden match between the finest cocoa and the world’s most sought-after almond.
