Hailing from Torino, torrone is Italy's answer to nougat. The sweet, chewy bar is typically studded with the highest quality nuts, such as hazelnuts or almonds. This Torrone Hazelnut Nougat is a soft and decadent version of traditional torrone, gilded with roasted hazelnuts. Perfect for an afternoon treat, this nougat is also delicious as an after-dinner dessert. Company History: Sorelle Nurzia was established in 1835 by Gennaro Nurzia in the town of Arischia, Abruzzo. Gennaro's grandson Ulisse, revolutionized the company's offerings when he introduced soft torrone. Up until that point, torrone was only sold as hard candy! Sorelle Nurzia is still family-owned and follows their original family recipes.
