THE HISTORY OF TORRONE
From mysterious origins to the excellence of Le Chicche
The origins of torrone seem to be lost in the mists of time.
Some historically trace it back to the Romans (from the Latin torrére) and others to the Arabs.
Both certainly included recipes that combined honey with almonds and fruit.
Francesco Taverna has been one of the “continuators” of this sweet tradition.
An ancient family tradition built on a love for everything genuine and high-quality, over sixty years of experience, and a great desire to carry on the “family story” characterize LE CHICCHE di Francesco Taverna, which stands out for its selection of highly prized raw materials.
