History and tradition of Jijona nougat

Jijona nougat has a long and fascinating history that dates back centuries. Originally from the Alicante town of Jijona, this sweet has become a symbol of Christmas in Spain, with a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The origins of Jijona nougat date back to the time of Arab domination in the Iberian Peninsula. The Arabs, known for their skill in making sweets, introduced the recipe for a sweet made from almonds, honey and sugar to the Jijona region. Over the centuries, this recipe evolved and was perfected, until it became the Jijona nougat we know today.

The quality of Jijona nougat is largely due to the excellence of Marcona almonds, a variety native to the region that is characterised by its intense flavour and soft texture. These almonds, cultivated with care and attention, are the star ingredient that gives nougat its unmistakable flavour and creaminess.

Today, the production of Jijona nougat remains a meticulous, artisanal process, where each step is carried out with the utmost care and dedication. At Bombonería Pons, we have inherited this tradition and have taken it to excellence, using only the best ingredients and following recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Each piece of Jijona nougat that comes out of our workshops is a reflection of this history and tradition, a tribute to the master nougat makers who came before us and a gift for the most demanding palates. Enjoy this delicious delicacy and let yourself be enveloped by the magic of Christmas.
