The history of Catalan cream turron

Catalan cream is a typical Catalan dessert. It has been made in this region since at least the 16th century, but is probably much older. It is an evolution of custard, which was already made in the Republic of Rome a few centuries before Christ.

This dessert consists of an egg yolk-based custard covered with a layer of caramelised sugar. Catalan cream turron uses the toasted egg yolk and sugar in a similar way, which is why it is called Catalan cream turron, although it contains no flour or milk.
