The story
A revolution in L'Aquila
When traditional torrone was white and hard, made of almonds and egg white, the Torrone Aquilano was a real revolution: soft, with chocolate and honey, and hazelnuts instead of almonds. A speciality born from the local ingredients of our land: hazelnut groves, excellent honey, ideal water and climate.
«A real revolution for its time.»
The taste
Soft, with cocoa and hazelnuts
The authentic recipe has a soft texture, made of cocoa, hazelnuts and honey, held between two sheets of wafer paper. A balance that melts in the mouth and never cloys.
A sweet with a long history, which tradition says was enjoyed even by Pope Pius X.
The ingredients
Whole roasted hazelnuts
Hazelnuts are the heart of the Torrone Aquilano: whole, roasted, spread through the whole bar.
