The Spanish sweet perfected by nuns

Though historians may not be able to pinpoint who is responsible for the creation of turrón, legends on its origins abound. But the best turrón won't be found in a supermarket — at least according to many Spaniards. If you want an artisanal-quality turrón, you have to go to the nuns.

“For us it’s very important how we work,” sister Contxi said. “It’s important to work in silence to have the ability to hear ourselves. Everything is unity and everything is harmony, and depending on how we work, things turn out one way or another. Being together with other sisters – and being together bien (well) – is an important part of this work.”
