Following the traditional recipe, clear diluted egg whites are added to the peeled toasted almonds. Then, the honey is heated, and the almond base is added to the rest of the mixture, ready to get final touch, thin edible rice paper coat. The result; Turron de Alicante, is a compact block of supreme quality hard nougat with more than 65 per cent whole toasted indigenous marcona almonds. Hard and crunchy texture with a nutty and not too sweet aftertaste.
