Each bar is at least 60% Pistacchio Verde di Bronte DOP, the famous green pistachio from the slopes of Mount Etna. The pistachios are bound with honey from the Sicilian black bee, a little cane sugar, and egg white, and finished with peel from Ciaculli late mandarins, a rare citrus from the outskirts of Palermo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe torrone is soft and chewy and full of whole pistachios. Their flavor is sweet, buttery, and slightly resinous, and the honey and mandarin peel bring out the nuts instead of covering them up. Because there's so little sugar, the bar tastes like pistachio first and candy second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e\"Bronte pistachio is a protected DOP product.

Thanks to the volcanic soil, they're intensely green and unusually aromatic. The trees are usually harvested only every other year, which makes them rare and costly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know these are real Bronte pistachios?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany products use the Bronte name loosely. Sabadì's torrone is officially authorized by the Consorzio di Tutela del Pistacchio Verde di Bronte DOP, the body that protects the name.\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's the thin layer on the outside?\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.\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":67610560561226,"sku":"SAB-805","price":23.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/7301\/files\/torrone-morbido-siciliano-con-pistacchio-di-bronte-sabadi.webp?v=1791049750","url":"https:\/\/torronecandy.com\/products\/sabadi-soft-torrone-bar-sicilian-bronte-pistachios","provider":"Torrone Candy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
