Strega Alberti Crunchy Strega Torrone is a traditional Italian hazelnut nougat flavored with the distinctive aromatic character of Strega and covered in rich dark chocolate. Made in Benevento, Italy, this specialty combines the region's confectionery traditions with the signature flavors of the historic Alberti brand.
What Is Torrone Friabile?
In Italian, friabile describes a delicate, crumbly texture. Unlike soft torrone, this traditional variety has a firmer nougat center that breaks into crisp, nutty pieces when enjoyed.
Strega Alberti's version combines hazelnuts and honey with the aromatic flavor associated with Strega, the famous herbal liqueur from Benevento. The nougat is finished with a dark chocolate coating, which makes up 62% of the product, creating a rich contrast between cocoa, hazelnuts and sweet nougat.
Inspired by the Strega Tradition
Alberti has been producing Italian confections in Benevento since 1860. The company's celebrated Strega liqueur, known for its blend of aromatic herbs and spices, has inspired a distinctive collection of chocolates and nougats.
This crunchy torrone brings those recognizable Strega flavors into a classic Italian confection, offering something different from traditional almond nougat.
How to Enjoy
Break into small pieces and enjoy alongside espresso or after dinner. Its combination of hazelnuts, dark chocolate and aromatic Strega flavor also makes it an excellent addition to an Italian holiday dessert assortment.
