White Sicilian Torrone

Description

Weight: 200g

Hand made in Donna Elvira's family run 'laboratorio' in Modica, Sicily, this white nougat comes in a 200g loaf that contains the best that Sicily can offer: Avola almonds and roasted pistachios are mixed with honey from the Hyblean mountains, making the nougat soft and fragrant, inviting the senses to be inebriated with its enveloping flavour.

The honey used in this product is very special. Produced in only a very small area of Sicily (in the Hyblean mountains in the provinces of Siracusa and Ragusa), it has been considered one of the great honeys since ancient times. What characterises this honey is the combination of sensory qualities related to the rich and varied local flora - it has a distinctive colour and flavour.

This delicious white 'Torrone' can be eaten as a dessert or as an accompaniment to afternoon tea. It is made from completely natural ingredients and contains no additives, preservatives or colourants of any type.

Ingredients

Avola almonds, pistachio, Hyblean honey, cane sugar, egg white
