In Italy, almost every region has a tradition of nougat confections, but it is in Cremona where the ancient tradition is said to have been born. Not much has changed with this flavored nougat tradition over the years, but one thing is certain, in Italy, the Sperlari brand is one of the most recognized. The Classic Hazelnut Torrone is made of simple and natural ingredients. Honey, egg whites, and sugar are beaten together and then mixed with whole hazelnuts for a unique and distinctive flavored Italian treat.
