Picó Catalan Cream Nougat, 200g

The Turrón de Crema Catalana by Picó is an innovative and very popular variation of Spanish nougat, capturing the flavour of the famous Catalan dessert – Crème brûlée.

It is a particularly delicate, soft turrón specialty.

Taste and Aroma

This turrón is a harmonious fusion of Spanish nougat tradition and the flavours of the Catalan dessert:

• Base Aroma: The core of the flavour is a sweet, soft cream (Yema or egg yolk-based), enriched with the typical notes of cinnamon and lemon – the classic spices of Crema Catalana.

• Almond Component: Unlike other innovative varieties, this turrón still contains a significant proportion of almonds (often around 28%), which give it a subtle nutty depth.

• The "Caramel Finish": What makes this turrón special is its surface. Similar to Crème brûlée, it is lightly caramelized or torched (Tostada). This creates a visual similarity and gives the bar a delicate, slightly crunchy texture and a subtle caramel note.

Texture and Structure

• Core: The mass is very soft, creamy and smooth (in the style of a Turrón blando or Turrón de Yema).

• Shell: The surface is caramelized, creating a light, fine crunch.

• Format: It is offered as a rectangular bar in the quality grade "Calidad Suprema" (Highest Quality).

Core Ingredients (Typical Composition)

The main ingredients that mimic the taste of Crema Catalana are:

• Sugar/Glucose Syrup

• Almonds

• Egg yolk (Yema), to simulate the creamy base of the dessert.

• Milk powder (skimmed milk powder)

• Flavourings reminiscent of lemon and cinnamon.

The Picó Turrón de Crema Catalana is thus a delight that combines sweet Spanish almond confectionery with the popular, slightly burnt dessert flavour.
