About This Brand
Founded in 1948, Alicante brought the Spanish turron tradition to Argentina and built it into a beloved national brand. The company's product range spans hard turron with almonds, soft turron with peanuts and honey, chocolate-dipped turron bars, boxed chocolate assortments, and individually wrapped candies for everyday consumption. Alicante's manufacturing process combines traditional nougat-making techniques with modern production equipment, allowing the company to maintain artisanal quality at industrial scale. The brand holds a commanding share of the Argentine turron market, particularly during the Christmas season when turron consumption surges. Alicante has expanded its distribution to reach export markets in Latin America and communities with Argentine diaspora populations worldwide.
