The reason why this small town is a world reference in turron production is nothing less than a legal dispute.<\/p>\n<p>In 17th century Spain, guilds dominated commerce, powerful organizations with exclusive rights to grant titles and manufacture certain products. A shoemaker could only produce shoes under the supervision of the shoemakers&#8217; guild, and a baker did not exist without the license of the bakers&#8217; guild.<\/p>\n<p>In this strange ecosystem, we find the masters of turron. The turroniers were not specialists of a guild, but farmers who earned extra money by selling this delicacy. This was not to the liking of the Valencian confectioners&#8217; guild, who considered honey and sugar products to be their domain. So they filed a lawsuit against the turroniers of Alicante.<\/p>\n<p>The trial began in 1665 and the litigation would continue for 6 years. In 1671, a court decision allowed the Valencian guild to take control of the turr\u00f3ns of Alicante, which quickly made the industry disappear from the city.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the inhabitants of the small municipality of Sexona, now Jijona, took over the capital. Away from the eyes and influence of the guild, local artisans have managed to bypass the ban on sugar and honey, thus establishing themselves as the home of authentic Spanish nougat.<\/p>\n<h3>To go further<\/h3>\n<p>Find all our preparation tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/mariasimona.com\/\">the Maria Simona website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Feel free to visit our blog to discover <a href=\"https:\/\/mariasimona.com\/recipes\/?lang=en\">our delicious recipes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And for the starter, why not let yourself be tempted by <a href=\"https:\/\/relaisgourmet.com\/\">the delicious Foies Gras Relais Gourmet <\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The turron de Jijona is a soft Spanish nougat made from almond powder.
