Turrón Jijona Artisan with 70% marcona almond 300g - Soft bar

Turrón de Jijona, soft and handmade, available all year round. Without a doubt, it is the most sold and appreciated of our turrón shop. Jijona's Turrón, for many, soft turrón but with Denomination of Origin, is the favourite of most of our customers, together with Alicante's hard turrón. Its price varies depending on the manufacturer, raw materials, percentages, etc. Its elaboration follows a very tedious process through specially designed machines, such as mechanical ones, where the egg white is mixed with the almonds and honey, and also the boixets, big and hot mortars where the resulting mass, after going through the mill, takes its texture which makes it special and unmistakable. Below we show a video with the elaboration process in the making of Jijona's soft turrón, watching the key figure of trades that are hundreds of years old such as the master turronero, the melero, the tostador and the "arremataor". We also see the secrets about the temperature, the mixture, the machines, etc. That's 11 minutes:

The turronero master or the nougat master is the person in charge of the elaboration of the turrones. He decides when the mixture of ingredients is perfect for making the turron.

The Nougat of Jijona, for many,(the soft nougat but with Denomination of Origin), is the preferred one for the majority of our clients, along with the handmade turron or nougat of Alicante.

Its elaboration follows a very tedious process through specially designed machines, as the mechanics, where the egg white is mixed with the almonds and the honey, and also the “Boixets”, big mortars with hot in its base, where the resulting mass pick the texture that make it special and unmistakable. The price of soft nougat Possibly, the nougat on this tab will seem expensive to you. The reason is the elaboration process, the percentages of almond, which is also the marcona, the most precious. Honey is also more expensive than usual due to its origin. The truth is that we are delighted with it. On average, it takes about 3 days to make it, and it is also packed by hand, and as you can see in the videos, with a brush and cellophane. By the way, we also have to say that this format is a 300 gram bar or tablet. And we say this because normally, in supermarkets, the weight is usually lowered to make it seem more economical.

There are many recipes on the Internet for making soft turrón at home, but the truth is that it is difficult to match. Not because in Jijona we have been making it for centuries, or because we think we are the best, but because the manufacturing process involves the experience of the master turron maker and, moreover, special machines, such as boixets or mechanics, which are what give the raw materials their ideal point, the texture, the mixing, the fusion. We love the Thermomix. In fact, in the factory's laboratory we have it for R&D, for example. However, the taste in particular is complicated to make. There are turrones whose recipe is easier to make. For example, turrón a la piedra, also very typical of the Alicante area, is easier to make, as is turrón de coco, turrón de nieve, etc. The reason is that they use simpler mixing machinery, and do not use boixets or mechanics. And the ingredients, so to speak, are made cold, not like the turrón from Jijona or Alicante where they are cooked. Sometimes we have seen written, even recipes, of soft jijona turrón suitable for vegans, which is not possible when carrying Honey and egg whites again.
