Torrone is a traditional Italian nougat confection made primarily from sugar, honey, and egg whites, combined with nuts such as almonds or hazelnuts. It has a chewy texture and is often flavored with vanilla or citrus zest. Torrone is typically cut into rectangular or square pieces and can be found in various regions of Italy, each with its own unique recipe and style. This sweet treat is especially popular during festive occasions, particularly around Christmas and New Year's. In addition to Italy, torrone is enjoyed in other Mediterranean countries, where it may be known by different names and prepared with local ingredients.
