Turron

Turron is the definitive Spanish Christmas indulgence, outselling even #7 Ensaimada during the festive season. 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. Whether you prefer the brittle crunch or the creamy melt, turron's versatility and holiday tradition make it a must-try dessert that stands 30% more popular than the typical Spanish confection during its peak season.
