New El Almendro turrón for Christmas 2026: pistachio, Tigretón and popcorn

Christmas 2026 arrives with new flavours for those who love discovering something different to put on the table. El Almendro is launching three new chocolate turróns that combine familiar ingredients with original recipes: chocolate and pistachio, Tigretón flavour, and chocolate with Risi popcorn. Three new products that will surprise anyone looking to expand their selection of Christmas sweets.

El Almendro is one of the best-known brands of Spanish turrón. Although its traditional varieties are still part of many celebrations, the company is also committed to developing products with contemporary flavours and new combinations.

El Almendro chocolate and pistachio turrón: creamy and crunchy

Pistachio has become one of the most popular ingredients in today’s confectionery. It appears in chocolates, creams and desserts, inspiring countless combinations, and now it is also the star of one of El Almendro’s Christmas launches.

El Almendro chocolate and pistachio turrón combines a chocolate coating with a particularly creamy filling studded with small pieces of pistachio. The result brings together two distinct textures: the smooth centre and the crunch of the nuts.

What makes chocolate and pistachio turrón different?

One of the most interesting features of this turrón is the contrast between its ingredients. The chocolate adds sweetness and a melt-in-the-mouth texture, while the pistachio brings a distinctive flavour reminiscent of toasted nuts.

The chopped pistachios also mean you can recognise the ingredient beyond the flavour of the filling: every portion combines the creamy part with small pieces that make the experience more varied.

It is especially appealing for those who already enjoy pistachio desserts and want to find that same ingredient in a format traditionally associated with Christmas.

Tigretón-flavoured chocolate turrón: the classic Spanish snack cake comes to Christmas

Some flavours stay with us from childhood and we still recognise them years later. Tigretón is one of those little cakes that are part of the memories of several generations in Spain, thanks to its unique combination of chocolate, sponge and fruity filling.

For Christmas 2026, El Almendro has teamed up with Grupo Bimbo to bring that flavour to the world of turrón. The result is the Tigretón-flavoured chocolate turrón, a recipe inspired by the well-known cake that combines chocolate, small pieces of sponge and a creamy filling with hints of apricot.

A turrón that brings back childhood flavours

What makes this product special is that it is inspired by a sweet many people have known for decades. Instead of the usual combinations of chocolate with almonds or hazelnuts, the key elements of Tigretón take centre stage here.

The sponge offers a different texture from nuts, while the fruity touch contrasts with the sweetness of the chocolate. This mix lets you recognise the original inspiration and discover it in a new format.

El Almendro is thus continuing a line of innovation based on reinterpreting well-known sweets, after previously launching its Pink Panther-inspired turrón.

The Tigretón-flavoured turrón will intrigue both those who remember the original cake and those trying it for the first time.

Chocolate turrón with Risi popcorn: one of the most original new launches

What if one of the snacks most associated with the cinema became a Christmas turrón? That is the idea behind El Almendro’s chocolate turrón with Risi popcorn, a collaboration that combines milk chocolate with real popcorn from the well-known brand.

The popcorn appears both inside and on top of the bar, adding a crunchy texture and a characteristic buttery touch.

The contrast between chocolate and popcorn

This turrón stands out for combining two flavours we usually enjoy separately. The chocolate provides a sweet base, while the popcorn adds salty notes and a different texture.

The contrast is reminiscent of other confectionery that uses salty ingredients to balance the sweetness. And the popcorn visible on the surface makes it easy to spot what sets this variety apart.

It is designed for those who enjoy trying unexpected combinations and are looking for alternatives to more conventional turrón.
