1880 Turron de Jijona Reviews

4.8 Rating 76 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Made by "1880" these are the gold standard by which all other Turrons are compared. The company was founded in 1725 by Bautista Sirvant and has remained a family run company to this day. It is the family’s dedication to maintaining these traditions that has made 1880 the benchmark for exceptional quality that it is today and has garnered a Denomination of Origin guaranteeing the quality of all their products. ‘1880’ source only the finest Marcona Almonds and are packed with beneficial oils that provide an irresistible flavour. The addition of orange blossom honey makes the perfect compliment adding a sweet, citrus scent. Beautifully packaged in traditional boxes they make a perfect gift. Toasted Marcona almonds are mixed with sugar and orange blossom honey and when cooled they are crushed and moulded into a block. The scent and flavour of 1880 turron Jijona is intensely almondy and sweet with a crumbly, creamy texture. Best served sliced with coffee, fruit or crumbled over ice-cream. This turron is gluten-free.

Very nice, not overpowering taste, but too "powdery" taste for me. Mind you so it is the majority of turrons these days.

Someone recently introduced me to the heaven that is Turron but said I could only get it from Spain. Luckily for everyone there is Basco fine foods who brought a little Spain to my doorstep and are friendly and efficient as they do so. Thank you Basco and Feliz Navidad.

This classic Spanish sweet is such a treat, I have to hide it or it "disappears".
