I got these and put them in the refrigerator since I did not need them yet.  I got them out a few days ago and ate a handful. (After 2 months in refrigeration) Most of the almonds were very good but some of them had a bitter, strong, artificial almost taste - tasted like someone poured almond extract on them.  Later I ate a few more - wondering if it was a fluke - the same experience.  I was so disappointed since the other almonds were so good.  It is too late to return them.  My advice to others is to taste them when you get them.  This was a substantial financial loss - $20 plus dollars.
