Strega Alberti Traditional Almond Torrone is a classic Italian nougat made with selected almonds, pure honey and a delicate edible wafer. Produced by the historic Alberti confectionery in Benevento, Italy, this traditional sweet celebrates the simple ingredients and time-honored flavors of Italian torrone.
What Is Italian Torrone?
Torrone is Italy's traditional nut-filled nougat, especially popular during Christmas and other festive celebrations. Made from a combination of honey, sugar, egg whites and nuts, torrone is enjoyed throughout Italy in a variety of regional styles.
The word torrone is commonly associated with toasted nuts, one of the defining ingredients of this classic Italian confection.
Made with 31% Almonds and Pure Honey
Strega Alberti's almond torrone features 31% almonds, combined with honey and sugar to create a traditional nut-filled confection. Thin edible wafers surround the nougat, providing a delicate finish.
Unlike chocolate-coated varieties, this classic almond torrone allows the flavor of the almonds and honey to take center stage. Each bite offers the familiar sweetness and nutty character that make traditional Italian nougat a holiday favorite.
A Sweet Tradition from Benevento
Benevento, in southern Italy's Campania region, has a long association with traditional confectionery. Alberti is especially known for its Strega liqueur and its collection of Italian chocolates and nougats.
This almond torrone reflects the more traditional side of the Alberti assortment, offering a classic alternative to its Strega-flavored and chocolate-covered specialties.
