PICÒ Turrón de Yema a la Naranja (Roasted Yolk with Orange), 200g

This turrón from Picó, a manufacturer with a long tradition, is a flavorful variation of the classic Turrón de Yema Tostada (turrón with toasted egg yolk) and is characterized by its fruity-fresh note.

Taste and Texture

• Base: The core of the turrón consists of a soft mass, mainly made from ground almonds, sugar, and egg yolk. This gives it a creamy, slightly crumbly texture.

• Yema (Egg Yolk) Flavor: The mass is traditionally lightly roasted or caramelized (hence the name "yema tostada"), which gives it a rich, slightly burnt and vanilla-like aroma, similar to crème brûlée.

• Orange Note: The addition of candied orange perfectly balances the rich, sweet taste of the yema mass. The orange pieces provide a fresh, slightly acidic, and aromatic fruity note.

Ingredients and Quality

Picó's Turrón de Yema a la Naranja is a high-quality product that typically contains the following main ingredients:

• Almonds: Account for the largest proportion of solid ingredients (often over 30%).

• Sugar / Glucose Syrup: Used for sweetening and binding.

• Candied Orange: Included in slices or cubes, provides the characteristic fruity taste (typically about 11% to 14%).

• Egg Yolk: Responsible for the texture and the namesake flavor (typically about 8-9%).

It is often classified as "Turrón diverso" (diverse turrón) and is frequently offered in a flat, rectangular bar, sometimes presented on a small wooden board, which highlights the traditional craftsmanship.
