D. Barbero Soft Torrone with Hazelnuts: A Delicate Italian Confection
A Tradition of Excellence Since 1883: D. Barbero's Soft Torrone with Almonds is a testament to the timeless art of Italian confectionery. Crafted from an original recipe dating back to 1883, this handcrafted crumbly torrone is made with carefully selected almonds, offering a rich and nutty flavor. The meticulous process of steaming for about seven hours, shaping, hand-cutting, and cooling on marble tables for one day ensures that each piece of torrone is a sublime blend of texture and taste.
A Luxurious Treat for Special Occasions: The combination of fluffy egg whites and high-quality almonds creates a torrone that is both light and indulgent. This exquisite confection is perfect for savoring on special occasions, as a sophisticated treat with coffee or tea, or as a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
