Sabadì packs it with Romana almonds from Noto, at least 65% of the bar, and binds them with orange blossom honey from the Sicilian black bee, a little cane sugar, and egg white. A touch of lemon zest adds a fresh citrus note at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe texture is soft and chewy, with almonds in every bite. Because there are so many nuts and so little sugar, the honey and almonds really come through. It's rich and fragrant without being too sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe almonds come from the hills around Noto, in southeastern Sicily, one of the best almond-growing areas in the Mediterranean. They're protected as a Slow Food Presidium and prized for their full, sweet flavor and high oil content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTraditional soft Sicilian torrone \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNot too sweet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNo glucose syrup, so the honey comes through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSicilian almonds from Noto (65%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e3.52 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEnjoy it with espresso, a glass of Moscato or Marsala, or on a cheese board next to a sharp pecorino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is torrone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTorrone is Italy's traditional nougat, made by slowly whipping honey and egg whites, adding sugar, and folding in toasted nuts. It's a classic at Christmas, though in Sicily it's eaten all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between soft and hard torrone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoft torrone (\u003cem\u003emorbido\u003c\/em\u003e) is cooked for less time, so it stays chewy and tender. Hard torrone (\u003cem\u003ecroccante\u003c\/em\u003e) is cooked longer and snaps when you bite it. This one is soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are Romana almonds from Noto?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRomana is one of the heirloom almond varieties grown around Noto, in Sicily's Val di Noto. These almonds are known for their rich, sweet flavor and are protected by Slow Food along with other local varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is it less sweet than other nougats?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany commercial nougats are mostly sugar and glucose syrup. Sabadì uses at least 65% almonds and sweetens mainly with honey, so the nuts are the star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the thin layer on the outside of the nougat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's an edible wafer (\u003cem\u003eostia\u003c\/em\u003e) that keeps the nougat from sticking. Sabadì's wafer is made from potato starch rather than wheat.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep it tightly wrapped in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight. Once opened, wrap it well so it doesn't dry out or pick up moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sidari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67610558726218,"sku":"SAB-782","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/7301\/files\/torrone-morbido-siciliano-con-mandorle-sabadi.webp?v=1791048622","url":"https:\/\/torronecandy.com\/products\/sabadi-soft-torrone-bar-sicilian-almonds","provider":"Torrone Candy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
