The Walnuts: The "Glands of Jupiter"

Walnuts hold a special place in Spain’s culinary tradition. While a variant of the walnut is cultivated across Europe, it is often referred to as "Spanish walnut" or "Castilian walnut." Although it is highly likely that walnuts were introduced to Europe during the Greek conquest by the Persians, famously attributed to Alexander the Great, it was the Roman Empire that most likely brought walnut cultivation to Spain and the rest of the continent.

In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, the walnut was considered a divine food. The Greeks referred to them as “seeds of the gods,” while the Romans called them “glands of Jupiter” (the Roman equivalent of Zeus). Rich in B vitamins, vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium, walnuts are a testament to the exceptional quality of this superfood.

The Spanish walnut is undoubtedly the star of the cream and walnut turrón, blending perfectly with the delicious almonds in the turrón paste, creating a nutritious cocktail of vitamins and minerals.
