Turron

Alicante's nougat comes in two forms: hard, crunchy turrón de Alicante, packed with whole almonds, or soft, chewy turrón de Jijona, almost like a nutty paste. Over 80% of Spanish households consume turron between November and January, making it a cultural staple. The hard version boasts 45% almond content, giving it a robust texture that rivals the best Mediterranean nougats.
