These quality gourmet candy bars are made with honey and roasted Spanish almonds. The "Duro" variety is a crunchy nougat treat, not unlike almond brittle, while the "Blando" variety is softer, with an almond-butter consistency. Enchanted by El Almendro since 1883, these gourmet treats can be enjoyed as healthy snacks, fine desserts, or at festive occasions. Varieties sold separately.

my MIL is Cuban, and DH grew up stealing the Turron at holiday dinners, much to MIL's chagrin. The Blando is, apparently, the *only* turron. It is soft and buttery and quite wonderful. As a WASP I enjoyed the Duro also - though it is rather messier than Blando. I love that I can get it for DH's birthday from igourmet, it's only available in the one local cuban market at christmas-time.

I have been a turron "addict" since childhood. The hard (duro) turron is better for younger teeth, nevertheless, I chew carefully to avoid problems and because I can't give up something with such wonderful taste and texture.

luv it!!!!!
