Torrone is a very old typical Italian dessert, mainly for Christmas. It is composed of egg white, honey, sugar and almonds which form the base common to all types with the possible addition of walnuts, peanuts, toasted hazelnuts and pistachios; it is often covered with two layers of host.

It would be preferable to consume the nougat, hard or soft, in the shortest possible time, but if this is not possible, we can keep it for some time. It goes preserved in an airtight container and placed in a cool (temperature around + 8 ° C) and dry place at a constant temperature, preferably a food storage. Its enemy is humidity, which must be avoided so that it does not lose consistency. In this way it can also be kept for several months.

Also, many ask me: but it is possible to freeze the nougat? If we have to keep the nougat for a long time, I recommend cutting it into pieces, placing it in freezer bags for food and then in the freezer. You must be careful to avoid condensation which would ruin the product. To defrost it, I recommend placing it first in the refrigerator for a few hours and then at room temperature, before consuming it.
