ONLY AT DEAN & DELUCA. It's no surprise that Castania is one of the leading roasting companies in Lebanon. They import the finest raw almonds available and roast them according to traditional methods that remove the moisture from the nuts without harming the alkaloids that give them their flavor. Specially packaged to protect against sunlight, oxygen and humidity, these crunchy salted almonds arrive at your doorstep fresher than other nuts, and have a longer shelf life.
