Description

In the medieval hill town of Erice in Trapani, Sicily, Maria Grammatico makes her exceptional torrone in the traditional manner, following several precise steps.

She slowly cooks honey in a double boiler to concentrate the flavor and reduce it to a dense syrup, then whips egg whites until stiff and folds them gently into the honey. This mixture becomes a foamy mass as it cooks over low heat. During this time, she cooks sugar until it reaches the soft ball stage, then adds this sugar syrup to the honey-egg white mixture and stirs it to blend. Just as it starts to harden, she folds toasted whole almonds and pistachios into the mixture. This torrone is then poured into a rectangular pan. A wooden board is placed on top and weighted with bricks. The rich, nut-studded torrone cools until it is firm but still sticky and pliable. It is then cut by hand and wrapped.

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Ama – December 14, 2020

    Crave-worthy! I’m not a big sweets person but this is just the right amount of sweets & nuts together. It’s amazing there’s no dairy in it. It’s nougat-y but in perfect balance with the nuts. Totally worth the money if you split it, definitely not for one sitting. A delicacy!

    These are amazing! Perfect combination of sweet and salty! It not overly sweet – just right. Light tasting and so good!
