I wrote a previous review on this product, and I was pretty well satisfied with these almonds and the supplier. However, this particular batch was awful. In fact it was so bad, it was the exact opposite of my previous review in which the almonds from this supplier were fresh and tasty. So I re-ordered from the same supplier. This batch of almonds were old with little or no taste. Some were so old, they looked like they had decayed and had a bad taste. I am no almond expert, but I do know if the product tastes fresh or not, and this particular batch was anything but fresh. It was like these almonds had been sitting around for years before being shipped, so I won't be ordering from this supplier any time soon. The quality control is lacking. In fairness, every once in a while, I would luck out and find a single and somewhat acceptable almond, but then the rest of the handful would turn on me!! I wish the supplier would have more quality control.
