The origin of Jijona turron
While no one can deny the close connection between the city of Alicante and this delicacy, it was originally the city of Alicante itself that produced most of the Spanish nougat. The reason why this small town has become a world reference in the production of turron is nothing less than a legal dispute.
In seventeenth-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 bakers’ guild’s license.
In this strange ecosystem, we find the masters of turron. Turroniers were not specialists in a guild, but farmers who made extra money by selling this treat. This was not to the liking of the Valencia confectioners’ guild, which considered honey and sugar products to be their domain. So they filed a lawsuit against the turroniers of Alicante.
The trial began in 1665 and the litigation continued for 6 years. In 1671, a court decision allowed the Valencian Guild to take control of the turrons of Alicante, which quickly caused the city’s industry to disappear.
This is how the inhabitants of the small town 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 homeland of authentic Spanish nougat.
