Sweets is an extensive category comprising over 160 products, divided into six subcategories - marmalades and jams, honeys, turróns, biscuits, chocolates and gourmet fruit. At the core of the range are organic honeys from the Muria brand in ten floral varieties (acacia, mountain, chestnut, forest, lavender, orange, rosemary, thousand flowers, heather, eucalyptus) and fruit preserved in syrup from La Calandina. The category covers both traditional Spanish confectionery and natural products such as honey and fruit preserves.
How to find your way around this category
Honeys from Muria are organic certified and available in many floral varieties - from the delicate (orange, acacia) to the pronounced (chestnut, mountain). Turróns are a traditional Spanish Christmas nougat made from almonds, honey and sugar, available in both hard and soft versions. Marmalades and jams as well as gourmet fruit (preserved peaches and others) are suitable for breakfast or as an accompaniment to cheeses. Biscuits and chocolates complete the range with classic confectionery.
For a gift, choose turróns or a selection of honeys; for an everyday breakfast, marmalades and jams.

Turrón - a traditional Spanish speciality
Turrón is a classic Spanish confection made from roasted almonds, honey, sugar and egg white, traditionally associated with the Christmas season but popular all year round. It exists in two main versions - turrón duro (hard, with whole almonds) and turrón blando (soft, almond paste). It is one of the most iconic Spanish sweets and a popular gift.
Store organic Muria honeys in a dry place away from direct sunlight - they crystallise naturally, which is a normal phenomenon and does not mean reduced quality.
