First, we hope that you, your family, and friends are all well. We are doing well here although like many of you we are we are navigating new guidelines
and adjusting our routines.
A few months ago we were gearing up for the 2020 festival season - fielding requests for the torrone stand, filling out contracts and placing our orders for the summer's inventory of taralli, biscotti, torrone and novelties. As our inventory was heading to the U.S., we were faced with the reality that the majority of the summer festivals we attend would be cancelled. This is the first year since the mid-seventies that my dad will not be standing in the street trying to get passerbys to stop and shop. The world has changed but we are committed to safely deliviering the best of the feast to you. This year you'll not only find torrone but also a wider selection of tarall, biscotti, bulk products and even novelties.
We're looking forward to seeing you once again at the feasts
First, I hope all of you are doing well. We're still shipping, following CDC guidance and are glad we can deliver some delicious Italian candy to you during this unprecedented time.
Tomorrow we'll be receiving a shipment from Oliviero Industria Dolciaria! A much needed replenishment to our torrone inventory! Torrone bars, torroncini, large blocks, nuts and more! We'll get them back in stock ASAP.
We're also receiving bulk taralli and biscotti from Daoli! Normally we would be selling these items on the torrone stand but unfortunately most of our feast have been cancelled so we're Bringing The Feast To You!We'll soon have these up on the site to sell in bulk. Order a box and share with friends or stock your pantry. They last for a very long time - but my guess is that they'll disappear very quickly!
Speaking with friends in Italy this is what I heard most often: Stay at home - wash your hands - everything will be alright - we will get through this.
We're sending all of you virtual hugs and hope that you and your families are doing well. Thank you for all the well wishes and support that we have received over the last few weeks and years!
I am still shipping torrone orders so if you're looking for some delicious items for your Easter baskets we have some excellent suggestions! I can also put together a basket for you. Just pick your items, add Build Your Own Basket to your cart and I'll pack your chosen items in a paperboard basket or mailer box, depending which looks better.
Please note that orders may take an extra day before they ship and if you're trying to get in touch with us, I will respond but it may take a little longer than usual. We are following all CDC and Department of Health guidelines.
are with all of you, our customers. We hope that you are all well and are taking care of yourselves. Wash hands, get enough sleep, eat well. Try to turn off the news and if you can, get outside.
We hope that our friends, families and suppliers in Italy are staying safe and well. We do not know yet if our shipments will be delayed but we have products in stock right now and we will keep you posted.
We're an extremely small famiy business and we will serve you as best that we can. Please note that if you're trying to contact us, there may be a delay in our response time but we will get back to you.
International women's day is celebrated around the world to show solidarity and recognize the importance of women in society. The day was born out of political and social awareness for women. In 1945, the Union of Italian Women set aside March 8th to celebrate womanhood. In Italy, bouquets of mimosa are given to mothers, sisters, daughters, wives and friends to show appreciation and respect. Many museums are free for women and restaurants typically give out a sprigs as well.
Why mimosa? They're in bloom! Their fragrance fills the air to remind everyone about the message of the day and that spring is just around the corner.
Whether you're searching for something for Nonna - (hard torrone?), Dad - (assorted torroncini?) or your secret Santa (Antica torrone?) we have unique edible gifts for everyone on your list!

Gearing up for Thanksgiving!
We all celebrate differently. Are you hosting dozens of extended relatives? Trying to figure out how to fit everyone around the table, calculating how much chicken liver you'll need to make the Italian stuffing and contemplating if everyone will really eat an artichoke after the meal!
Or it may be a small affair, just a few people gathering to give thanks with delicious food and one pie per person! Others may give back by helping serve a warm meal to others who are less fortunate.
However, you chose to celebrate we hope you take time for yourself, reflect on what you're thankful for and maybe reach out to someone to let them know you're thinking of them.
At TorroneCandy we would like to thank you for supporting a small busines. And I mean small! We rely on family and friends to pack orders, update the website, post pictures to instagram, figure out why something isn't working correctly on the website, tell me when I've misspelled words and that my grammar is incorrect, and more! We know that you have many choices and we thank you for your loyal support of a small business.
From our family to yours, we wish you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
Buona Festa del Ringraziamento!
Sorelle, Strega, Antica
I know, I know! We're all waiting for it to arrive. I will let you know as soon as it gets here!
Update: We should have Quaranta, Bauli, Balocco, Baci, Nonna Maria Mostaccioli, and Vergani this Saturday, the 16th!
It's that time of year! The leaves are past their prime, there was frost on the car this morning and I finally gave in to the kids request and turned on the fireplace! Oh, and what you really want to hear is that pallets stocked full of treats direct from Italy are starting to arrive!
What else? Oh, marzipan! Yes, it's back. These sold out so quickly last year. They're beautiful. Make sure you order soon!
We have a ton of new items as well. Assorted biscotti samplers, ricciarelli, soft hand formed amaretti. (I nicked a box and brought them to my mom's so we could try and we felt like we were transported back to Siena!)
We'll add more items as they arrive. We know that many of you are waiting for Antica, Strega, Fiasconaro, and of course mosticcioli. If you sign up on a product's page we'll notify you as soon as the item arrives! Wishing you a wonderful start to the holiday season!
