What is the origin and manufacture of Spanish nougat?

Nougat (turron) or Spanish nougat is a traditional Spanish confectionery made with honey, almonds and sugar. It is a very popular Christmas specialty in Spain, although it can be found all year round. There are two families of nougat: hard nougat (turron duro) and soft nougat (turron blando).
Hard turrón is made by mixing toasted almonds with boiled honey and caramelized sugar, then letting it cool and harden. The result is a solid, crunchy turrón bar that is usually cut into small pieces to be served.
Soft turrón is made in the same way, but the preparation is different: after mixing the ingredients, beaten egg whites are added to obtain a softer texture. The result is a softer and easier to eat turrón bar.
nougat origin
Turron originates from the Spanish region of Alicante, but its origins date back to the Muslim era of Spain, around the 8th and 9th centuries.
Its recipe has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. It is now produced throughout Spain and is also exported worldwide. The turrone sector is a large food sector in Spain, with large companies such as touron delaviuda , turron viçens or turrones Castillo de Jijona .
Turrón is typically made from almonds, honey, and egg whites. It may also contain sugar, and sometimes hazelnuts or other nuts. Turrón is often considered a luxury treat due to its high almond content, which is quite expensive. There are also many varieties of turrón, some with dried fruit, chocolate, cream, or other ingredients added to vary the flavors.

Alicante nougat is a hard-textured variety, made from peeled and toasted almonds, honey, sugar, egg white and wafers. Roasting the almonds is an essential step. Once they have reached the perfect roasting point, they are mixed with honey and sugar cooked until a ball is obtained, as well as with egg white.
