 Welcome Holiday GiftsJan 23, 2011
By Colorist
This past holiday season these unusual to many people candies made an original and unusual holiday or hostess/host gift. For those who knew Italy, they were like old friends. For those being introduced for the first time, they were welcome new friends. Each piece of chewy nougat with almonds was individually wrapped and sealed and placed inside it's own decorated box, similar to the main box decoration. On each was a portrait of a beloved historical character from about the 1800's, three different pictures, each one signifying a different flavor. Each piece of white nougat in addition has a very thin top and bottom of egg white. No, it is not additinal wrapping ( it could easily be mistaken as a thin layer of paper ) but is meant to be eaten and keep fingers from becoming sticky. Each of the three flavors are subtle and delicious. It was like being back in Italy as they brought on many good memories.

 Old favorite, sometimes hard to findDec 25, 2009
By Beckie
I've had this candy all my life at Christmas time in OH. I moved to CA and I couldn't find the La Florantine brand. I tried a couple of others and was really disappointed. They were good, but not as good, not the flavors you get with La Florentine, and the individual wrapping keeps the candy fresh for a long time.
Our local Italian store, DeVitis, which is so fantastic you can't believe the quality and prices, sells the nougat candy for $8 a box. Enjoy!

Very tasty, nicely packedDec 11, 2010
By Comdet
I'm a huge fan of torrone - it just is not Christmas without it. This is the first time I tried this brand and found it to be quite tasty (especially the lemon version). Each one comes individually wrapped so it's easy to parcel them out as stocking stuffers.
This is the white torrone that is semi-hard. There's also a version that is chocolate-based and very soft (basically, the white nougat is replaced with a dark chocolate nougat, with a lot of hazelnuts and wrapped in the edible paper). That is my all-time favorite, especially the one made in L'Aquila, Italy (sorry, can't remember the brand name) which is not sold in the US. If you're ever there, you have to try it.

Delicious!Dec 28, 2009
By J. Thompson
My Grandmother used to give this exact box of candy every Christmas. I was so excited to see the familiar box on Amazon.com! The candy tastes exactly as I remember it, but the pieces are much smaller and the edible paper on the sides is much lighter. It was still good enough for a great trip down memory lane!

La Florentine Torrone, Lemon, Orange, Vanilla, 6.35-Ounce, 18-Count Boxes (Pack of 4)
Wonderful, exactly the same as when my Italian grandmother gave them to me as a child over 40 years ago! Purchased them for an Italian themed party and everyone loved them. It was fun introducing this old favorite to so many people.
