Quality and Innovation

Quality, tradition and innovation

Using selected natural ingredients, following in the footsteps of the Agramunt Nougat Masters, and maintaining a formula and a traditional production process that has been passed down from generation to generation, are the reasons that make our Nougat a top quality product. Hazelnuts, almonds, honey, cocoa ... our ingredients, all of the highest quality, are mixed under the watchful eye of the Master Craftsmen, who have owned the Nougat recipe for three centuries.

Premium Raw Material

Our raw materials of excellent quality and proximity are mixed in a process that does not understand time and that nuances each of the flavors with the help of fire and the experience of the Master Craftsmen, testimonies of one of the secrets rather well guarded.

Only in this way do our manufactured products reach the market preserving all their flavor and all their organoleptic properties. With effort and dedication, Torrons Vicens has expanded its range of products.

In addition to nougat, it has incorporated into its catalog a wide range of handcrafted specialties with top quality products. In 2009, the Regulatory Council of the IGP “Torró d’Agramunt” was created, a body that depends on the Generalitat but has decision-making capacity in matters related to its regulations. In 2011, Mr. Ángel Velasco was appointed president of the Regulatory Council.

Tradition and innovation

Torrons Vicens continues today to make the typical Torró d'Agramunt following the same original formulas and processes since its inception in 1775. Innovation has undoubtedly been one of the company's objectives and over time it has added new varieties of nougat that today already reach more than 150 references.

The house specialty is the burnt yolk nougat and our patented creation, the Soufflé nougat, which was created by Maestro Nougat Ángel Velasco in 2013. The traditional Xocolata a la Pedra de Agramunt, the most indigenous and ancient, receives this name not because of its hardness but because of its elaboration since the cocoa bean is crushed on a granite stone until a paste is obtained.

In addition to cocoa, this chocolate contains sugar, rice flour and essence of cinnamon or vanilla. Both its ingredients and its traditional process make this chocolate a unique and original product for making hot chocolate.

Creations Torrons Vicens
