Basque Cheesecake Nougat by José Andrés, Torrons Vicens, 200g
The iconic Basque cheesecake, reimagined as Spanish nougat
Some desserts become much more than regional specialities. They cross borders, inspire chefs and become internationally recognised symbols of their culinary origins.
Basque cheesecake is one of those desserts.
Famous for its creamy centre, delicate flavour and distinctive caramelised character, it has become one of the most admired creations of contemporary Spanish pastry.
Now, the collaboration between José Andrés and Torrons Vicens brings this inspiration into the world of traditional Spanish turrón.
The result is Basque Cheesecake Nougat by José Andrés, an original gourmet creation combining the spirit of a beloved Spanish dessert with the heritage of artisan nougat-making.
A creamy, delicate and distinctive gourmet experience
What makes this nougat particularly appealing is its inspiration in the smooth, indulgent character of Basque cheesecake.
Its flavour profile is designed for lovers of delicate dairy desserts, bringing together gentle sweetness and creamy notes.
Unlike traditional almond nougat, this speciality explores a different expression of Spanish confectionery.
It is an excellent choice for those who appreciate creative desserts, contemporary gastronomy and unexpected interpretations of classic recipes.
José Andrés: bringing Spanish gastronomy to the world
