Sugar-Free Nougat from Davide Barbero is handcrafted with honey, egg whites and the finest quality hazelnuts Tonda Gentile IGP from Le Langhe hills in Piemonte. The dough is then steamed for about 7 hours, shaped, hand-cut and cooled on marble tables for one day. These bite-sized torronticino are individually wrapped and crunchy.
Davide Barbero is most famous for the production of artisanal torrone, a light, crumbly sweet nougat that’s been popular in Italy for thousands of years. Documents from 1838 show that Filippo Barbero, the founder, was a professional confectioner and baker cake maker at the Annuziata Church in the small town of Mombercelli d’Asti, in the Piemonte region. In 1883, the Barbero confectionary shop was officially registered. Since then, seven generations have been involved in the family’s artisanal business.
