Torrone is a traditional Italian confection, especially associated with Christmas celebrations. It is made from a mixture of honey, sugar, egg whites, and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts. Torrone can be either soft or hard, depending on how it’s made, and is often flavored with citrus or vanilla. Regional variations may differ in ingredients and texture, but they all retain the authentic, artisanal nature of this ancient sweet.
