An energy-boosting and nutritious treat
Hard nougat, or Alicante nougat, features almonds as its main ingredient, which must make up at least 46% of its composition. If, in addition, the almonds used are of the Marcona variety—as is the case here—the nougat will have even better flavor and texture. The almonds, which are peeled and toasted beforehand, reach the “ball stage” when mixed with egg whites. The honey, sourced from the Valencian Community, is heated and added to the almonds to form a dough that is molded into boxes lined with wafers. Rich in protein and minerals, this turrón is an energy-boosting and nutritious treat, especially beneficial for athletes thanks to its high caloric content.
