Sperlari Classic Hard Nougat Candy, Italian Torrone with Almonds, 8.81 Ounces (Pack of 1)

It was great but very hard on your teeth

My expectation was a chewy, delicious candy like a treat I remembered from my childhood. Granted, that was a long time ago, but still the memory was there. This product was sadly not the nougat goodness I hoped for--it was hard as a rock. Boo hoo.

They advertise this as "Hard" Torrone. If you want "Soft" you can order it that way. This candy is designed this way it is not old, out of date, made in error, etc.This Torrone is great and overloaded with almonds!!!!

First, you should know this is "friable" style - so dry it will shatter. It's a style not everyone likes.I didn't like this when I first received it. I thought it was stale. As I let it sit open for a bit, the odd taste gradually lessened and I realized it wasn't stale, it was a floral essence that was one of the ingredients. A bit overpowering for me, but I'm growing to appreciate it more with each bite.

I purchased this for a Valentine's Day gift. When I unpackaged it, the contents were hard as a block of wood! I used a sharp serrated knife to try to cut it - see photo. Clearly it was inedible so I attempted to return it to the seller. There was a no return policy on this product and i understand why since it's a food item. I spoke with an Amazon rep and she contacted the seller to explain my circumstances. The seller granted a full refund which shows that they are an ethical company. So...good company...but they my want to discontinue this product. The company gets 5-Stars but the product gets 1-Star.

Probé este turrón por primera vez en Italia. Quedé fascinada. Desde entonces siempre lo he comprado. Nunca lo había hecho con este vendedor, pero valió la pena. El producto está fresco, llegó perfecto y con una pequeña nota de agradecimiento por comprar con ellos.

I don't recommend buying this product at all I bought 3, 2 meant as gifts and one for my family. My family loves this stuff but since I am moving I have been trying to find a different way of buying it. This came we popped it open and it was hard as a rock and the label stated it was expired. After eating this I got really sick, I didn't think to check the expiration date so that was my fault

Mis padres son italianos y siempre en diciembre teníamos estos turrones. Recuerdo esperar con ansias diciembre para comerlos. Ahora puedo comerlo en cualquier época del año. Son divinos, los recomiendo y recomiendo el vendedor también por rápido envío y buena envoltura
