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.

These sound really good. Where do you get them?
manger la ville, 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. =)
Caroline, yummy isn’t it!
