Here is a list of the 7 highest quality products in terms of raw material and enigmatic flavor.

Nougat Casa Mira

Casa Mira was founded by the confectioner from Jijona, Luis Mira, who began the creation of his artisan nougat in the 19th century when he settled in Madrid with a small stand in the Plaza Mayor.

Since then, Casa Mira has produced excellent nougat thanks to the use of quality raw materials. Just by walking through Madrid, you can see how the queue gathers at its door to acquire one of its best nougat, Jijona or Alicante.

Nougat Monerris

Sometimes art runs in the blood. An example of this is Alfredo Mira Monerris, a descendant of a family of nougat artisans from Santander, where some of the best nougat in Spain and the world come from.

Among his products, the Jijona nougat stands out, which has an excellent texture and the ideal amount of fat, which gives it a balanced flavor and not at all cloying.

Nougat 1880

As time goes by, the artisanal nougat production process improves considerably, giving rise to magnificent products. This has happened with the nougat company Jijonenca 1880, which was founded back in the 18th century.

At that time, the company already had high-quality raw materials to make the best nougat in the world, the Mediterranean Marcona almond.

Today, its products contain 70% of this material, which is skilfully mixed with orange blossom honey.

Mancebo nougats are products whose craftsmanship has been made since the Arab era of the peninsula.
