The Turrolate is a typical sweet from the subbética Cordovan, especially from the cities of Rute and Priego. Although the fame of its origin is attributed to this last city, its origin lies in the fertile imagination of the artisan industry of Priego, possibly began to be elaborated in the end of century XVII. 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 for newborn mothers, so their consumption is also related to luck and good news. While it can be taken alone, perhaps its ideal accompaniment is next to a piece of bread with earthy oil.
