Turron de Guirlache, turron d’Aragon :
There’s soft turron from Jijona, hard turron from Alicante and turron from Guirlarche or Aragon.
Although guirlache is mainly native to the regions of Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia, curiously enough, the name seems to be of French origin. The name comes from the French word “grillage”, referring to the way the almonds are roasted. The name was probably spread by the French into Aragonese territory in the 19th century, during the Napoleonic invasion.
Although there are many variations on the recipe, one of the most influential is that of Aragonese gastronome Teodoro Bardají, who put the region on the map with his recipe for Guirlarche de Zaragoza.
