Mattessa Cuella
A sweet experience
Jijona is located at 453 meters above sea level between Alicante and Alcoy on the N-340. The Turrón Museum is broken down into three floors: ingredients, elaboration, and branding. The visit to the factory is done through a walkway with video projections. At the end, there is a small store selling turrón and other sweets.
The Iberos called Jijona “Uxonig” which means “Valley of Steel.” It’s said that the Almohads cultivated honey there in the 12th century, and that’s how turrón came to be invented.
