Producer Profile

Antica Torroneria produces exceptional torrone, and their packaging is beautiful!

Established in 1885, this fifth-generation family company continues to make nougats and truffles, all inspired by the PGI Piedmontese Hazelnut and made using traditional artisan methods.

Sweet truffles are known in Italian as tartufi. Since 1885, this shop in the northwestern Piedmont region has been perfecting the art of candy making, inspired by the nationally renowned hazelnuts that grow there. From roasting and grinding the nuts by hand to letting the truffles rest overnight to ensure just the right smooth texture, every step of the process is guided by tradition and time-honoured techniques.

Antica Torroneria Piemontese began when Giuseppe Sebaste, an apprentice in a pastry shop in Alba, decided to strike out on his own. Unable to afford the expensive almonds commonly used to make torrone, he turned to the hazelnuts that grew in abundance on the hillsides in his home in Piedmont. It was an inspiring moment that set the course for a sweet legacy. Today, the fifth-generation family members who run his company are committed to celebrating the precious Piemontese hazelnuts that started it all. Antica Torroneria Piemontese is a master of the confectionery arts with a single-minded dedication to excellence that guides everything they do.

In the old days, regional delicacies were invented based on the ingredients on hand, and in the Piedmont region, hazelnuts were at the top of the list. Hazelnut torrone was one of their first specialities, and they have gone on to produce all sorts of sweet delights. Famous for their hazelnuts and hazelnut-based soft and hard torrone, there are enough types and sizes here that you are bound to find at least one that is just what you are looking for.
