The origin of the almond <\/strong>M<\/strong>arcona<\/strong> is fascinating and its importance in the elaboration of the turr<\/strong>on<\/strong> of Jijona<\/strong> y Alicante<\/strong> is undeniable. This variety of almond, known for its round shape, has become one of the most appreciated ingredients in the production of this symbol of Christmas, which is also increasingly successful at other times of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origin of Marcona almonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The almond M<\/a>arcona<\/a> has its roots in Spain<\/strong>in the province of Alicante<\/strong>. Its name derives from the Arabic term \"marc\u016bna\", which means \"round\". These almonds are characterized by their slightly flattened shape, and are shorter and wider than other varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of the most outstanding features of the almond <\/strong>M<\/strong>arcona<\/strong> is its mild and sweet flavor<\/strong>. These almonds have a creamy texture and a thin skin that flakes easily when roasted. Their low bitterness content makes them perfect for direct consumption and for use in baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcona almonds, ingredient of Jijona and Alicante nougats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we have already mentioned at the beginning of this article, the Jijona nougat<\/strong> and that of Alicante<\/strong>two of the most emblematic in Spain, have in common the use of the almond <\/strong>M<\/strong>arcona<\/strong> as the main ingredient. In the case of Jijona nougat, it is ground to a fine paste that is mixed with honey, sugar and egg white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alicante nougat, on the other hand, uses whole and toasted marcona almonds. These almonds are combined with honey and egg white until the mixture acquires a solid consistency. The resulting nougat is crunchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Garrig\u00f3s Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez<\/a> we are one of the brands of nougat that takes advantage of the Marcona almonds<\/strong>. We value their quality and their contribution to the exceptional taste and texture of our products. That is why we say that we are proud to use them, thus maintaining tradition and offering a final product of excellence.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
