The
History of Torrone
Torrone is a popular traditional Italian candy, which boasts a long and glorious history. The roots of its history are based in ancient Rome. A sweet made from honey, almonds and eggs was reserved for special functions or as an offering to the gods. Other cultures are known to have a similar version. The Arabs are reputed to have introduced almond nougat to Spain.
In Italy the first documented mention of Torrone was in the year 1441 in Cremona, where at the wedding of Francesco Sforza to Maria Bianca Visconti, a new sweet was created in their honour. Shaped like the “Torrazzo” the famous tower of Cremona, this delicacy became popularly known as Torrone.
