Torrone is an Italian confection type of nougat, traditionally made from honey, sugar, and egg white. There are a lot of theories about how, when, and where this delight was first created. Some say it’s a European take on traditional Arabic turun, a similar sweet. However, according to the most famous story, it was invented for a wedding in 1441. It's believed to be shaped after the Torrazzo tower, hence the name.

The history of Quaranta began in 1924 in Caravaggio, when Antonio Quaranta and his wife Alzira dedicated their lives to creating the most luscious nougat and other sweets typical of the Cremonese and Bergamasca confectionery tradition, including cotton candy, traditional torrone, crunchy nougat with carob honey.
