Someone brought me some of these two years ago after a trip to Spain. I savored every bit and haven’t managed to to get my hand on some since.I am still haunted by its amazing taste.

Jonny – not really big hunkyish. But its awesome – you will love it. Its too bad that Starwberry village is probably out of them by now. Maybe next Christmas.

Nah – I saved some.

it looks like a high-end “Big Hunk” which can only be a god sign.

Scotty, I TRUST you saved some for your fellow gurus?

Scotty, I have to say, El Almendro is definitely one of my favorites and I have always eaten it year-round, but it is definitely easiest to find at Christmas, so I try to stock up for the rest of the year I add my support to your 8/10 review!

And, as a side note and as a Spanish teacher, I love that you put the real Google translation from the Spanish site you found. My students will swear up and down that they didn’t use a translator on their homework, but their Spanish looks a lot like that translated English. Just silly. How many times have I seen them write “Yo lata” for “I can” instead of the correct “Puedo”? My suggestion (and don’t tell my students) is to use the Spanish translation tool from SpanishDict.com if you’re going to use one at all. Just my opinion as a Spanish teacher. It has three translators (including Google) so that you can compare the translations and find the best option.
