'''[[Template:Indicación Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] Turrón de Alicante''' is a [[Spanish]] [[nougat]] consisting of a mix of [[almonds]], pure [[honey]], [[sugars]], [[egg white]] and [[wafer]] in specified proportions. Classed as "Supreme" and "Extra".

'''Geographical area''' : The municipality of Jijona in Alicante province; raw
materials may come from Alicante, Castellón and Valencia.

'''Evidence of origin''' : The processing factories, duly registered with the
Regulating Body, manufacture and package the [[nougat]] in set conditions, under
Regulating Body control.

'''Acquisition''' : A mixture of [[sugar]] and [[honey]] is cooked at high temperature in
the mixer for at least 45 minutes until the desired point is reached. Diluted [[egg white]] and [[roasted]] [[almonds]] are then added and the mass is stirred until they are
evenly distributed. While still warm, the mass is weighed, formed into shape and
covered with [[wafer]], then cut into bars for packaging.

'''Link''' : The abundant [[almond]] crop and the abundance of [[honey]] in the area have
given rise to the manufacture of foodstuffs which use these two products as raw
materials. 

'''Gastronomy''' : [[Template:Indicación Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] Turrón de Alicante is not only eaten at Christmas but it is also used in other special dishes. It can be used in [[fish]] dishes ([[salmon]]), or used as the main ingredient in [[biscuit|biscuits]], [[cakes]] and [[desserts]] in general.
