El Artesano’s crunchy Alicante turron is a traditional Spanish nougat made from premium quality honey, egg whites, and 67% renowned Marcona almonds for a crunchier bite. Also known as “Queen of Almonds,” the Marcona variety carries buttery sweetness.
Turron has become a quintessential Spanish holiday confection, loved worldwide. It’s traditionally made from honey, eggs, and almonds to combine all the flavors of the holiday season in one treat. This fabled sweet has got quite a history, too – some believe it’s a European take on the traditional delights of the Moors. Others say it was first created in Italy for a royal wedding in Cremona. Despite everything, Spain has managed to transform this sticky-sweet confection into their signature dessert, and you can find all the flavors in our carefully curated collection of turrones.
El Artesano’s story started in 1969, when four sisters Filliol, Carmen, Pilar, and Maria, founded their company - Mira y Llorens SA! The company specializes in producing the most tempting Spanish nougat and myriads of sweets to introduce authentic flavors of Jijona to the world. Nougat Master: El Artesano quickly became the company’s leading brand by gaining success all over the country! You can browse El Artesano’s turrones, traditional ready-to-serve cakes, and much more in our online Spanish grocery store!
El Artesano’s crunchy Alicante turron will be an exquisite addition to your Christmas dinner desserts. This crunchy delight pairs exceptionally with caramel gelato, a steaming cup of hot chocolate, and, of course, a glass of creamy Coquito!
