Buying crema catalana or toasted Yolk nougats is very typical in Catalonia.
Its origin, according to legend, is that in Jijona the person in charge of purchasing raw materials made a mistake when buying the eggs needed to manufacture the typical Jijona and Alicante nougats (where egg whites are used), buying many more than necessary by confusing dozens with units; to avoid wasting them, he invented a kind of egg marzipan that evolved into untoasted Egg Yolk nougats.
Whether the legend is true or not, it has become a favorite for many due to its genuine candied egg flavor. This nougat is gluten-free and lactose-free; however, it is not suitable for vegans as it contains candied egg yolks.
At Turrones la Colmena, we artisanally toast the sugar on each yolk bar. In the following video, you can see how we toast our 300g artisanal toasted yolk nougat bars. Spectacular aroma…!
Ingredients: Sugar, almond (35%), egg yolk (11%), water, milk powder (2%), vanilla essence, and preservative E-200. May contain traces of other nuts.
