An Italian in my Kitchen
Torrone, the pillowy soft nougat candy filled with nuts, is traditionally studded with almonds, but I prefer pistachios. Torrone is made with a mild honey, which imparts great flavor on its own. For a little extra complexity, I like to add a scraped vanilla bean, some vanilla extract, or citrus zest.

They come in a beautiful, vintage-looking tin, but it’s what’s inside that counts. (Inside = candy.)

In Italy, torrone is a traditional Christmas dessert—a sweet, toasted-almond candy—with many famous regional variations. The term “torrone” probably comes from the latin verb “torrere,” or to toast, referring to the toasted almonds. Today, there are many different types of torronne available—some soft, some hard and some with chocolate—not just in Italy, but worldwide. Torrone from Sicily, Abruzzo, and the cities of Siena, Alba, Cremona and others are especially renowned.

Torrone is a classic Italian Christmas candy that's similar to nougat mixed with nuts. This soft and sticky candy needs to cook low and slow, so be sure to plan accordingly.

Homemade sweet treats are always good, especially homemade torrone! This Italian Christmas candy with roasted nuts is sweet, chewy and delicious. Italian nut nougat is also simple to prepare. Famous soft torrone comes from Alba, Siena, Cremona, and Benevento, but you can make your own white nougat which is just as tasty with almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, or pecans.
