 "paper wax" actually edible wafer November 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am from Italy and torrone has always been my favorite Christmas sweet - I would like to let Fred McConville (author of the previous review) that the "wax paper" stuck to the torrone is actually a kind of wafer and totally edible and absolutely not to be peeled off! I hope Fred will enjoy his next torrone - I'm always glad when people enjoy foods that are unique to Italy.
 Not a Pleasant Experience! January 20, 2008

It took 10 days for the order to arrive.
The product was not edible. The paper covering, similar to wax paper, was stuck to the candy and impossible to completely remove, so that you were spitting out pieces of wax paper with each chew.
Placing a piece in the microwave helped, but the paper problem was still there. I managed to eat a couple of small pieces and the rest I threw away.
I ordered based on the name "Torrone", remembering from the past an individually boxed candy, maybe 1-1/2" by 3/4" size, certainly edible when removed from the box. I knew before ordering that this product was not packaged that way but thought it would be pretty close to the original in quality.
 10 Stars for taste and 4 for consistency. January 9, 2007

Do not get me wrong, this torrone is the best torrone I have ever had.It is just like my grandma's homemade torrone we used to have when we were kids.It is simply wonderful.Very full of nuts, not too sweet,just prefect,and the only let down is the difficulty is cutting or chewing it.If you have weak teeth, I do not recommend buying this hard torrone.My husband(who had never had torrone until this one) got really into it and finished it in one day.Once again I will state that this torrone is SUPREME but the hardness of it is a let down,it could be a little softer but it is worthy every bite.
