El Almendro Turrón Duro

El Almendro is a prestigious Spanish brand specializing in traditional turrón and almond-based confectionery. Founded in 1883 by Antonio Monerris Planelles in Jijona (Alicante), the brand has become one of Spain's most iconic symbols of the Christmas season. The 'Turrón Duro' featured is a hard almond nougat crafted with a high percentage of toasted almonds, honey, and egg whites, adhering to century-old artisanal methods.

Today, the brand is owned by the Delaviuda Confectionery Group, a prominent Spanish family-owned company headquartered in Madrid. While it remains deeply rooted in its Spanish heritage, El Almendro has successfully expanded its reach internationally, exporting its premium sweets to over 70 countries. The product continues to be manufactured in Spain, primarily in the Alicante region, ensuring the authentic taste associated with the Jijona tradition.
