Torronfetta with Piedmont Hazelnuts – 50g (1.76 oz)

Discover a true gem of Italian confectionery with Torronfetta, the celebrated thin-sliced torrone that has become a symbol of craftsmanship in Asti. Created in the 1950s by the historic D. Barbero confectionery, Torronfetta was originally born by chance: the thin, uneven slices left behind after cutting traditional nougat were so delicious and satisfyingly crisp that customers began asking for them specifically. What started as a humble leftover soon evolved into one of the brand’s most iconic handmade specialties.

Each slice of Torronfetta is crafted following an old-world recipe, using only a few select ingredients and a slow, artisanal cooking method that allows the honey and sugar to caramelize gently without losing their delicate aroma. The star of the recipe is the PGI Piedmont Hazelnut, among the most prized hazelnuts in the world. These hazelnuts are carefully toasted to release their intense nutty fragrance, then folded into a smooth, white nougat made from whipped egg whites and sweet, aromatic honey. The result is a light, crisp confection—thin, brittle, and irresistibly flavorful.

The texture is what makes Torronfetta unforgettable: it snaps cleanly, melts slowly on the palate, and leaves behind a warm, lingering aroma of roasted hazelnuts. Its delicate structure makes it ideal for enjoying on its own, pairing with espresso, cappuccino, or dessert wines like Moscato d’Asti, or serving alongside holiday desserts as a refined touch.

Perfect for gifting, sharing at festive gatherings, or treating yourself to a moment of authentic Italian sweetness, Torronfetta brings the charm of traditional holiday nougat in a convenient 50g size easy to carry, enjoy, or include in gourmet baskets.
