Companies
In recent years Torrons Vicens has acquired the following nougat and chocolate companies. Torrons Àngel & Lluch, specialized in organic products, Xocolata Jolonch, a factory that dates back to 1770 and specializes in Stone Chocolate and Viar Nougat, specialized in sugar-free nougat and traditional nougat.
There is a fifth company specialized in the production of frozen truffles, cookies and select frozen desserts that was already owned by the Velasco family before the acquisition of Torrons Vicens and which is also part of this group of companies.
Chocolate Jolonch
The last name Jolonch, from Peramola, has been linked to chocolate since 1770. This was one of the first brands of manufacturers and marketers of this product in Agramunt, the first in Europe and the second in the world. The family business was passed from generation to generation until recently, when the family decided to abandon chocolate production. It is at this time that Mr. Ángel Velasco acquired the firm at the beginning of 2013 with the aim of giving it continuity and projection with the development of new products recently presented to the market, highlighting grated hot chocolate.
Chocolate Jolonch has been characterized by the manufacture of Xocolata a la Pedra, considered the autochthonous variety of Agramunt. Currently they also make other varieties that complement the offer.
Their production has always been artisanal and today they still use traditional methods and the same old machines. All this makes the factory itself a true museum of this activity.
Chocolate Jolonch is the oldest chocolate factory in Agramunt and the only one of the two historic ones that still works today. Since the end of the 18th century, the company has been passed from generation to generation.
