Created in the heart of Sicily
Our nougat is made with love in Giarratana, located in the province of Ragusa, Sicily. This area is renowned for its rich culinary heritage and ancient confectionery traditions. Here we draw on local treasures: from the prized "Pizzuta" almonds, prized for their delicate flavor, to aromatic honey harvested in the sunny Iblei Mountains. Each bite encapsulates the true taste of Sicily, bringing the uniqueness of this region directly to your table.
Famous for its delicate flavor, exceptional crunchiness and aromatic profile, the "Pizzuta" almond gives our nougat a distinctive richness. These almonds, harvested under the Sicilian sun, are prized for their superior quality-often favored by top pastry chefs, including those who make classic French macarons and marzipan. Their distinctive taste and texture marry perfectly with local honey and brown sugar, resulting in a nougat that embodies tradition and the best of Sicily's natural bounty.
Keep your Classic White Nougat in a cool, dry place (15-20 °C) and, during the summer months, store it in the refrigerator to enhance its fragrance. Before enjoying it, let it return to room temperature to fully appreciate its flavor profile.

The history of White Almond Nougat from Torronificio Trapani has its roots in the mid-19th century. Even today, while keeping up with the times, it still represents one of the artisan confectionery businesses most faithful to tradition.
It all began thanks to the visionary founder, Giuseppe Trapani, who, after discovering the recipe for Spanish nougat, had the brilliant intuition to reinvent it using only local ingredients. This commitment to local raw materials laid the foundation for a unique taste and created a deep connection with our land.
Since its inception, the production method has remained faithful to the original: a slow, skillful and entirely manual process that ensures a unparalleled freshness and quality in every bite.
For our family, the art of pastry making has always been a source of pride and a tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation. We have thus specialized and perfected the production of the characteristic nougat, continuing our commitment to excellence and high quality craftsmanship.
Bring the history and passion of Torronificio Trapani to the table: each slice tells a story of a century of craftsmanship and the unmistakable flavor of Sicily.
