Pecans with Honey – in a Jar

Caramelized pecans with rosemary honey in a 75g jar

Finca la Rosala's honey pecans are hand-roasted pecans, caramelized in Spanish rosemary honey and seasoned with La Vera paprika and a hint of vanilla. Sweet and salty in one bite, packaged in a 75g screw-top jar.

Honey pecans are hand-roasted and caramelized pecans from the Spanish producer Finca la Rosala in Valencia. 90% pecans, 8% rosemary honey, plus La Vera paprika, salt, and a trace of natural vanilla – packed in a 75g jar that also makes a great little gift. Let yourself be surprised by what rosemary honey does for a pecan.

When you open the jar, a warm scent of honey wafts out, followed by a delicate smoky note from the paprika and a touch of vanilla. Sweet, slightly spicy, with an almost caramel-brown sheen on the kernels. The aroma alone suggests you won't stop at just three nuts.

Sweet and salty in the same bite

The pecan is naturally the sweetest of the large nuts – when it is also candied in rosemary honey, it truly comes into its own. The sweetness is not sugary or overwhelming, but soft, with the herbal note of the rosemary honey acting as a subtle thread.

Then the smoked La Vera paprika enters, pulling the flavor in the other direction. Spicy, with the fine smoky character of this special Spanish delicacy, held together by the vanilla in the background. Sweet and salty alternate – that is the essence of this variety.

Classic with cheese, sophisticated with espresso

A classic companion for a cheese board: with a mature blue cheese, a creamy Brie, or a nutty Manchego. Honey and cheese are an age-old pairing.

The pecan also makes a great impression with an afternoon espresso, as an unexpected topping for vanilla ice cream or yogurt, or as a small treat alongside a bowl of Luxury Cocktail nut mix – the salty sister to the sweet pecan. In the 75g screw-top jar, this variety also makes a wonderful small gift.

Pedro and the art of roasting from the 19th century

Finca la Rosala traces its origins back to Pedro Ciudad Imedio, who began roasting nuts in his Valencian homeland. His neighbor was the owner of "Angelito," a small workshop where nuts had been roasted in wood-fired ovens since the beginning of the 19th century, and he passed his secrets on to Pedro.

When the old master passed away, Pedro continued the business under the name Finca la Rosala and taught the craft to his sons. The caramelized pecans are one of the manufacturer's sweet specialties – the salty Marcona almonds and spiced cashews belong to the same family. At Finca la Rosala, you will find all varieties together.

Keeps the caramelization crisp without air

Serve at room temperature and simply screw the lid back on after opening – the caramelization stays crisp if air is kept out. A small upgrade as a topping for creamy desserts (vanilla ice cream, mascarpone, apple pie). An unusually beautiful pairing as a companion to a sweet sherry, a port wine, or a dry Riesling Spätlese. The compact 75g screw-top jar looks great as a gift even without a ribbon – it is a little present in itself.
