The History of Guirlache Turrón (Aragon Turrón) There is the Jijona turrón, the Alicante turrón, and the Spanish nougat of Guirlache, also known as Aragon turrón. Although Guirlache is primarily associated with the regions of Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia, the name itself has an intriguing French origin. It comes from the French word “grillage,” referring to the process of roasting almonds. The term was likely introduced by the French during the Napoleonic invasion of Spain in the 19th century. While there are many variations of the recipe, one of the most influential versions was created by the Aragonese gastronome Teodoro Bardají, who helped elevate the region with his famous recipe for Guirlache from Zaragoza.
