Frequently Asked Questions:

What is torrone?

Torrone is a cream-colored nougat confectionery made with fluffy egg whites, honey or granulated sugar and some type of nut—often toasted almonds or pistachios. There can be different variations of the treat with different ingredients like vanilla, lemon or hazelnuts, etc. This nougat is usually formed into long rectangles between wafer paper (to contain the sticky candy more neatly). In Italy, torrone is a candy that is enjoyed around the holidays as a sweet tradition, but it can truly be enjoyed at any time.

What does torrone taste like?

Torrone is smooth and sweet with a delicate warm flavor. There are notes that are toasty and nutty from the addition of toasted almonds.

Is torrone Italian or Spanish?

The exact origins of torrone is not known, but it seems the first documented mentions of torrone came from Spain during the early Renaissance period. Perhaps it arrived on the Sicilian coast from there? One thing is for sure: torrone is an ancient candy that originated long before modern times.

How do I eat torrone?

To eat DeLallo Torrone, simply remove the foiled candy from its box. Remove the wrapper and enjoy. The nougat lies between the two edible pieces of wafer paper. This keeps your hands from getting sticky. It can be eaten as a snack, an after-dinner treat or a holiday sweet. We recommend enjoying it with a hot beverage like espresso or coffee.
