Turron, or torrone, is a fabled Mediterranean sweet, traditionally made from tree nuts, honey, and egg white. Despite its popularity, the origin history of this confection is shrouded in mystery. Traced back to the Middle Ages, some believe that the traditional delight of the Moors inspired turron, and the name must be derived from turun, a similar Arabic treat.
