The Sugar Almonds in the Despana Basket, are made by 1880, the same company that makes the Almond Torta, that I loved. These have a hard candy shell that is very sugary, like those candies often given as wedding favors. Sugary is not my thing, but the almonds inside are still undeniably wonderful in a sophisticated way, and beat any domestic version I've had. Still, I'd go with the Almond Torta if you're shopping at Despana.

We bought a package of Almond Torta yesterday from Despana. I told Eddie he had to try it since he likes almonds so much. The almonds taste richer than American almonds and hence yummier. =) |
