About Turron
Turrón is a traditional Spanish confection made primarily from almonds, honey, sugar, and egg whites, forming a nougat-like treat that is popular during the Christmas season. Originating in the Mediterranean region, its history dates back to Moorish influence in Spain. Turrón comes in two main varieties: "soft" (turrón de Jijona), which has a smooth, paste-like texture, and "hard" (turrón de Alicante), characterized by whole almonds embedded in a brittle mixture. Rich in protein and healthy fats from almonds, turrón provides essential nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants. However, it is also high in sugar and calories, making it best enjoyed in moderation. While some artisan versions use natural honey without additives, processed varieties may include preservatives or added sugar. Combining indulgence with heritage, turrón offers a flavorful glimpse into Spain's culinary traditions while serving as a festive treat rather than an everyday snack.
