A family story

The heart of the Torronificio

Our nougat dates back to 1900. In 1988 our father, Carmelo, created an entirely new recipe.

But the real revolution came from our mother, Mariarosaria. With the love she put into every detail, the care she gave to every person, her gift for pastry and her way of welcoming each customer as a guest, she set the path we follow every day.
