Italian Torrone

Thank you for your interest in purchasing torrone from GourmetItalian.com. Our torrone is imported from Italy. Our christmas torrone is imported specifically for that holiday season. Other torrone such as La Florentine torrone or Bellino torrone, is produced and stocked all year. The flavors of torrone range from almond, pistachio, traditional, chocolate, cafe or coffee, hard and soft.

Torrone, otherwise known as Italian nougat, is a confection made from honey, well-whipped egg whites, vanilla, and walnuts or almonds; it's an ancient sweet that requires considerable skill and care to make well.
At a wedding celebration in Cremona, Italy in 1441, a delicious sweet made of nuts, honey and egg whites was featured. It was fashioned in the shape of the famous tower of Cremona known as "Torrione" ... hence the name Torrone.
