El Almendro soft Jijona Turron candy, also known as Turron de Jijona, is a soft nougat full of delicious honey and almond flavors. This creamy dessert is made from premium quality almonds that boast delicate nutty flavors.
Turron, or torrone, is one of the most renowned classic sweets with a rich history tracing back to the Middle Ages. Turron is believed to be a delicious South European take on the traditional delight of the Moors, and it's named after the Arab turun, a similar treat. However, Spaniards have successfully transformed it into their own dessert - with myriads of regional takes, Turrón de Alicante & Turrón de Jijona are loved worldwide for their sticky-sweet flavors and soft texture. More traditional Spanish desserts can be discovered in our carefully curated collection of turron!
El Almendro, a beloved Spanish brand, was founded in 1883 in Alicante. Antonio Monerris Planelles, the company's founder, didn't realize that his little turron-making business would soon turn into an international success. Producing various types of traditional Spanish turron sticks, bars, and snacks, El Almendro has become one of the staples of every Spanish household. You can shop all of the tempting flavors of El Almendro in our Spanish grocery store online!
