The Turrolate is a typical sweet of the subbética cordobesa, especially of the towns of Rute and Priego. Although the fame of its origin is attributed to this last town, its origin is found in the fertile imagination of the artisanal confectionery industry of Priego, possibly began to be elaborated at the end of the 17th century. Its name is a combination of nougat and chocolate. It is made with cocoa and almonds or peanuts, sugar and cinnamon. It has a cylindrical rod shape and is manufactured in different sizes and qualities.

It is a product of great nutritional value. In the past, it was a common gift to newly born mothers, so their consumption is also related to luck and good news. While it can be taken alone, perhaps your ideal accompaniment is next to a loaf of bread with earth oil.
