Guirlache Nougat

The artisan Guirlache nougat , although it is typical in the area of Aragon, we also make it in Jijona with our own recipe that we have improved by adding more almonds and more honey. It usually has more sugar than honey.

Buying turron guirlache is traditional at Christmas time. This nougat is made in a very similar way with the difference that this one is made without egg whites and with toasted almonds with the whole skin. That is why it has a darker color than the traditional turrón de alicante that you can buy here.

With a hard texture, it is a turrón guirlache that crunches in the mouth but is not excessively hard as you might think, since we use more honey than sugar to prepare the caramel. It is presented in 200g tablet format. Perfect for sharing. And in 150g format. In Jijona we also have our characteristic Guirlache, to which we add a bit of sesame seeds and we call it turrón terronico.
