Turrón is a subcategory of the traditional Spanish almond confection, represented by the brands San Andrés and the premium Pablo Garrigos Ibanez. The range covers both classic protected versions - hard turrón Alicante with whole almonds and soft turrón Jijona - supplemented by the popular yema tostada (baked egg yolk), coconut turrón, turrón with pistachios and the Crema almond spread. A gift box with 5 kinds of turrón in a wooden case is also available.

How to find your way around this category

Turrón Alicante (duro) is hard, with whole roasted almonds baked into caramelised honey - a crunchy texture reminiscent of nougat. Turrón Jijona (blando) is soft, made from finely ground almond paste with honey, with a consistency reminiscent of a thick marzipan mass. Yema tostada is a version with a layer of baked caramelised egg yolk on top of soft turrón.

For the traditional flavour choose the classic Alicante or Jijona, and for tasting several versions at once the gift box with 5 kinds.
