This hard (\u003cem\u003efriabile\u003c\/em\u003e) almond torrone is crisp and crunchy without being tooth-breaking, made the slow, traditional way that has earned Scaldaferro a reputation as one of Italy's finest torrone makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe secret starts with the almonds. Scaldaferro hot-roasts its almonds at about 165°C for 20–25 minutes under close watch, which draws out their natural oil so it flavors the whole nougat. The nougat is then cooked slowly in a bain-marie, a method not found in industrial torrone, which gives it its distinctive light, crumbly texture. Rather than being pressed into molds, the result is airy and porous, breaking apart gently when bitten and melting easily on the tongue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA family tradition since the early 1900s, when great-grandfather Marco Scaldaferro opened a small pastry shop in Mira Porte, near Venice, Scaldaferro has topped Gambero Rosso's ranking of Italy's for some of their torrone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional Venetian hard almond torrone (\u003cem\u003emandorlato friabile\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with Italian almonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-cooked for a crisp, light, texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThin sheet of torrone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-made by a family producer in Dolo, Venice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for gifting, holiday tables, or pairing with coffee, dessert wine, or cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.88 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Scaldaferro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67641371426890,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/7301\/files\/scaldaferro-torrone-bar-hard-almond-torrone-candy-1.png?v=1791644582"},{"product_id":"scaldaferro-torrone-bar-hard-pistachio","title":"Scaldaferro Torrone Bar - Hard Pistachio","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis hard (\u003cem\u003efriabile\u003c\/em\u003e) torrone from the Scaldaferro family workshop in Dolo, on the Brenta Riviera near Venice, is generously studded with pistachios, whose rich, buttery flavor plays beautifully against the honey-sweet nougat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eScaldaferro has made torrone since 1919 and follows a process few producers still use.
