1880 Turrón de Jijona (Soft Nougat)

Soft almond nougat bar · 1880 · Chocolate & candy · Jijona (Alicante)

8/10must-try

Why it's worth it

1880 markets itself as el turrón más caro del mundo and is the premium Jijona house, family-run since 1725. The soft Jijona bar is the creamy, spoonably-soft counterpoint to the hard Alicante type, and it is the higher-end gift version of Spain's signature Christmas sweet.

Taste

Soft Jijona-style nougat of ground Marcona almonds, honey and sugar; smooth, creamy and oily-rich, easy to cut, deeply nutty
