Torrone is a light, lemony Italian nougat full of crunchy nuts. This torrone recipe makes the perfect holiday food gift.

In Italy, torrone is a traditional Christmas dessert—a sweet, toasted-almond candy—with many famous regional variations. The term “torrone” probably comes from the latin verb “torrere,” or to toast, referring to the toasted almonds. Today, there are many different types of torronne available—some soft, some hard and some with chocolate—not just in Italy, but worldwide. Torrone from Sicily, Abruzzo, and the cities of Siena, Alba, Cremona and others are especially renowned.

Torrone, the pillowy soft nougat candy filled with nuts, is traditionally studded with almonds, but I prefer pistachios. Torrone is made with a mild honey, which imparts great flavor on its own. For a little extra complexity, I like to add a scraped vanilla bean, some vanilla extract, or citrus zest.
