In reply to Danica. I haven't, I'm afraid, but I imagine it should be OK, it just might become that bit softer.

In reply to explorefood715. I'm so glad to hear! And it's highly likely this is essentially the same as what you had from Barcelona (though there are a few different versions of turron, as I mention).

I just made this few minutes ago, I know that we have to leave it in the fridge overnight but I could not wait, I had to try it. Oh wow! this is super tasty. One of my friend brought some sweets from Barcelona way back & shared something similar, I was so determined to make it but they forgot the name & now I came across your recipe.
The best I must say, very well done.

In reply to Fanny. Thanks! I'd tend to agree, not sure coconut would be that great an addition as the flavor might take oven, but you could possibly use a little coconut oil if you feel it hasn't got enough oil - the refined coconut oil doesn't have much of a flavor. As I think I mention, and sure you know, starting with almonds is definitely the best option if you can.

Thank you for the recipe and for the nice comments. I love this Turrón, and I missed it a lot during christmas, as I can not get it in my town. I´m thinking in making it this year, but I am afraid about to use Almond Flour, because it is so expensive here and have to take the risk that it wouldn´t have enough oil, which, for sure, is very important for the flavor and consistency. I also have read in other site that I could use coconut to compensate the texture if the almond flour is too fine, but I have serious doubts. I would not like jijona turrón with coconut flavor.

In reply to Nils. You don't have to but I'd recommend you do, yes, as much as anything as it means you are then less likely to get larger chunks of egg white in the end mixture.

Should the egg white be beaten before being added to the honey mixture?

In reply to Simon. Hopefully it lives up to memories! It certainly takes me back to my time in Spain.

I grew up in the Alicante region of Spain, so this was a staple

And yet, despite living in Australia for 30+ years now, this is the first time I've looked up the recipe!

Thanks for sharing, going to make some soon

I'm not a huge fan of nougat, but this one sounds delicious! I bet it tastes nothing like that stuff in candy bars I don't like. I'm just going to have to try it and find out!
