These notes underlie the rich dark chocolate and almond flavors, bringing the whole thing to an unexpected and delicious place.

Torrons Vicens was founded in 1775 in the town of Agramunt in Catalonia. This special Spanish candy has protected status (PGI) to make sure that the quality and the candy-making tradition are protected from imitations. Turrón with this status must follow strict methods and must be made in the village of Agramunt. 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.
