Dark Chocolate and Rum-Soaked Raisins Turron Delaviuda

Dark Chocolate and Rum-Soaked Raisins Turron Delaviuda is a modern and popular variation of Christmas confectionery, fusing the tradition of chocolate nougat with the classic combination of raisins soaked in rum. While classic nougat has a long history, this variety combines chocolate, raisins, and rum to offer a sophisticated and contemporary flavor.

Turrón, in general, has its origins in the medieval period, with influences from Al-Andalus and the Mediterranean tradition of honey and nuts.

This specific variant of chocolate with rum-soaked raisins emerged as an innovation by master turrón makers seeking flavors beyond the traditional almond.

It is based on a mixture of chocolate, raisins previously soaked in rum, and often a base of almond paste or cream to give it texture.
