El Almendro Turrón Duro (Alicante Hard Nougat)

Hard almond nougat bar · El Almendro · Chocolate & candy · Alicante

must-try

Why it's worth it

Turrón is Spain's defining Christmas sweet, and El Almendro (from Jijona in Alicante) is one of the most widely available names. The hard Alicante bar packs whole unground almonds, giving it that signature crunchy bite, and it is a distinctly Spanish confection rather than a Czech shelf item.

Taste

Hard Alicante-style nougat of whole Marcona almonds bound with honey, sugar and egg white; firm, brittle and crunchy like almond brittle
