In Spain, the holidays aren't complete without turrón. This centuries-old almond and honey confection shows up on tables from late November through Three Kings Day, and now you can find it across New York City too. Whether you're stocking a holiday cheese board, shopping for a gift, or just craving something sweet, here are seven NYC spots that carry Despaña Brand Foods turrón this season.
Two classic styles dominate every holiday table, and both are protected Spanish designations:
You'll also find chocolate versions and other regional favorites on the shelf. If you're new to turrón, start with one of each and compare.
This neighborhood butcher shop inside Chelsea Market is known for meat from small upstate farms and house-made charcuterie. It's a great place to pick up what goes on a holiday board, and now the sweet finish, too.
A family-owned deli, bakery and provisions shop that has served Brooklyn since 1949, known for its sandwiches and in-house baked goods. Stop in for lunch, then take home a bar of turrón.

A Spanish pantry and tapas café in one, Despaña is the place to browse imported cheeses, cured meats, conservas and sweets, then grab a bite in the café at the back. It is an easy stop to build a full Spanish holiday spread, turrón included.
Steps from Central Park, this shop builds photogenic charcuterie boxes and picnic spreads with cured meats, cheeses and snacks. Add turrón to your box and you have a ready-made holiday gift.
From the owners of Westside Market, Ermina's is a full gourmet market with a deli, bakery, cheese selection and prepared foods. It's a handy stop if you're picking up groceries and holiday treats in one trip.
An Astoria favorite for European deli meats, cheeses, an olive bar and a huge beer selection, with Mediterranean and Eastern European groceries on the shelves. Add Spanish turrón to your cart on the way out.
