Give the gift of Spain's favorite turrón candies packed in an elegant Barcelona themed box. Almond and honey turrón is a legendary holiday candy that is now enjoyed year-round. Serve with freshly brewed coffee or a glass of sparkling cava.

The confectioners at Torrons Vicens blend freshly roasted almonds and honey to make these classic treats, just as they have since 1775. Three classics are featured in this Barcelona gift box. Crunchy Alicante almond brittle is the most popular, packed with roasted almonds. Next is the creamy bar of Jijona, made with ground roasted almonds blended with mil flores honey. Finally is the crunchy 'guirlache' turrón featuring whole roasted almonds glazed with a crunchy honey coating.

Vicens makes each bar of turrón by hand, much as they have for centuries. Torrons Vicens is based in the small village of Agramunt in Catalonia, not far from Barcelona. Agramunt turrón is such high quality that it has protected status (PGI) to ensure preservation of the local traditions. 

In 2016, Angel Velasco, the master turrón maker at Vicens, was awarded the title of “Best Pastry Chef in the World” at the prestigious Madrid Fusion food show.
