Blue Diamond Almonds Salt N' Vinegar Flavored Snack Nuts, 6 Oz Resealable Cans (Pack of 12)

To start I should say I HATE Almonds. I don't dislike them, I hate them (and I have tried all manner of almonds, from raw to various flavors). A former co-worker brought a huge jug of these to work and urged me to give one a try. Like the stubborn child who refuses to eat her veggies, I popped one in my mouth, with a large glass of water in hand to wash down what I expected to be the awful (to me) flavor. I was shocked to find I not only didn't object to these, but became hooked on them in short order. I have been unable to find this flavor in the mega jug my co-worked purchased at a big box retailer over a year ago and was pleased to find this option on Amazon for a price lower than my local grogery store. I wish that big jug were available, but these smaller cans probably assure a fresher product. I will add, that I am a big fan of vinegar, but am not a big fan of salt and vinegar chips. These almonds have an excellent balance of flavor.

Flavor is such a personal thing. For me, this variety is the perfect blend of salt & vinegar. I like almonds a lot, so I've tried a few of Blue Diamond's other flavors. The "sweet" flavors taste a bit off to me--some too mild to really pop and some just "not right". The Wasabi is delicious but stings -- more than a couple of them and they burn the sides of my mouth (literally blistering them). But this one gives you the bold without the bite. It's not a casual decision to buy a 12-pack. It's a lot of money to shell out all at once. But in addition to liking the flavor, I also did the math and compared it the everyday prices in my local grocery stores. One-to-one, these are either the same cost or slightly cheaper, so this bundle is also a good deal.

first of all -- they're good. really good. go back for more and lick the bowl when they're gone - good. That said -- they're not quite as bold as you might hope. I mean -- I'm from Texas. Bold should be really BOLD. But they are good -- so we'll just overlook it. Yummy. And they are almonds -- one of those wonder nuts so full of B vitamins and other good stuff that you should be eating an ounce a day just for health sake. But they're good enough that it's not exactly an intelligence test whether you'll want to eat them.

I love these almonds. They have the picker factor that you look for in a salt and vinegar item. They give you that flavor profile that you look for when wanting salt and vinegar chips with out the guilt. Plus a few of them go a long way in helping you stay full longer and snack less.

Not too much salt .. very favorable .. the vinegar adds an unexpected tasty and good flavor.

Even though I (thought) I hated them for 25 years, I am a recent convert to the great taste and nutritional value of almonds. It is hard to find a quality almond. Some are too hard, some are too "dry," some are too plain. Without a doubt, Blue Diamond produces the best-tasting almonds. I have had many different brands of almonds and if you are eating them out of the bag (IE, not cooking with them or mixing them with something), quality can go a long way. Blue Diamond almonds are very flavorful on their own. I typically do not like a completely plain almond, so decided to try their Bold series. The Bold Series has several different flavors. Some of these are hit and miss with me. Some of the flavors are "too" bold, and some taste great the first few almonds, but quickly overwhelm you. Since my favorite Blue Diamond product is Blue Diamond Almonds Roasted Salted, 6-Ounce Tins (Pack of 12) , I thought I would give these a try. I have been disappointed with other products within their Bold line, but these aren't too bad. You can definitely taste the salt and vinegar, and it's pretty much the same amount of flavor you would find with Salt and Vinegar potato chips. Normally, I can eat half a can of Blue Diamond almonds in one sitting, however the strong flavor of the vinegar overwhelms me a bit and I can usually only eat half a serving of these at once. If you're a big Salt and Vinegar fan however, these shouldn't be a problem. While the Salt and Vinegar Almonds aren't my favorite in the Bold line, I do like them much better than the other varieties, and will probably get them again. If you've never tried them before, you may want to start with purchasing just one can rather than 12.

They taste great, and our hard to find in local shops. To speak on taste: I am no real fan of Almonds to big with at all, so take this how you want. I find these actually pretty good, they don't even really taste like an almond to me. I love Salt and Vinegar potato chips so these are just a no brainer. Great idea and GREAT TASTE, give them try before buying a huge case of them though. I'd hate to see you waste your money, time, and food.

Good deal and best flavor out there. If you like salt and vinegar this is the product for you. Packs way more punch than any potato chip out there flavored in the same way and you don't need to eat as many.
