Maria Simona Jijona soft nougat has an appellation of origin and is protected by the Jijona Regulatory Council.
Although no one can deny the close link between the city of Alicante and this delicacy, it was originally the city of Alicante itself that produced the bulk of Spanish nougat. The reason why this small town has become a world reference in turron production is nothing less than a legal dispute.
In 17th-century Spain, trade was dominated by guilds, powerful organizations with exclusive rights to grant titles and manufacture certain products. A shoemaker could only produce shoes under the supervision of the shoemakers’ guild, and a baker did not exist without the license of the bakers’ guild.
In this strange ecosystem, we find the masters of turron. Turroniers were not guild specialists, but farmers who earned extra money by selling this delicacy. This was not to the liking of the Valencian confectioners’ guild, who considered honey and sugar products to be their domain. So they took the Alicante turron manufacturers to court.
The trial began in 1665 and the dispute continued for 6 years. In 1671, a court ruling allowed the Valencian guild to take control of Alicante’s turrón industry, which rapidly disappeared.
The inhabitants of the small municipality of Sexona, now Jijona, took over from the capital. Away from the eyes and influence of the guild, local artisans have managed to circumvent the ban on sugar and honey, establishing themselves as the home of authentic Spanish nougat.
