Maria Grammatico's Pistachio & Almond Torrone
On a bustling cobblestone street in the town of Erice on the island of Sicily sits the most precious little pasticceria you've ever seen. And inside that shop, no matter when you pop in, you'd find Maria Grammatico, decorating marzipan, filling cannolis or cutting fresh torrone.
Maria has a way with sweets that is simply unparalleled in the world...and despite our MariaBEST efforts, the only product she makes that holds up to the rigors of international shipping is the torrone. But we count ourselves lucky that we can enjoy this incredible delicacy every year!
Her torrone is packed with fresh Sicilian ingredients - the most brilliant emerald green pistachios, skin-on almonds, local honey and egg whites. The flavor is sweet, as expected, but the torrone is so packed with nuts that it has a completely unique depth of flavor as compared to all other torrone we've tasted.It's the perfect size for stocking-stuffing!

Called the "King of Sienese Sweets," panforte is a specialty of the gorgeous Tuscan city. This holiday cake is densely packed with candied fruits like citron, melon and orange, toasted almonds and hazelnuts, and a blend of spices.
Our favorite is the Fiorito, in a cloak of thick, rich marzipan. Whichever you choose, serve it in small wedges with torrone and sweet wine or coffee.
Panforte was a mainstay in the pouches of Crusaders who would snack on it during long sieges. We're hoping you'll find a more festive opportunity to serve it...
