I've had a hard time writing this review. There's really only one word to describe this treat, disappointing, but that's not enough to fill up a review. It's not that I had heard of this treat before I bought it, so there was no anticipation built up. This treat is disappointing because of several generalizations I (and I'm sure many of you) have about some types of candy. The first obvious generalization is that this is a torrone made in Italy. One would assume that if anybody could make a fine torrone it would be an Italian candy maker. The second generalization comes from the fact that I paid one Euro (about $1.25 US)for a very small piece of torrone (it was only about an inch long). With a high price like that one would assume that only the finest ingredients are used. Finally, one assumes that ciocccolato means chocolate (and it does), but the chocolate was the most disappointing part of this whole bar.
Assuming that Italy can make some crappy treats, and that I overpaid for this candy, the one thing that really stuck out for me was the chocolate flavour. Actually it would be more appropriate to say the complete lack of chocolate flavour. Being a small stick of torrone there was only two bites worth, so after the first bite with no chocolate flavour at all, on my second bite I really tried to take in any chocolate flavour at all. There was nothing, I tried really hard, but all I got was a weak torrone with no chocolate.
The other strange thing on the package "crema" implies that this should either be creamy in texture or flavour, it was neither. It was dry in texture, with no creamy flavour at all. I guess if I had to find one good thing, I could say that the almonds were tasty. However I could have bought a bag of almonds for half the price and received 10 times the almonds.
What can I say, I was very disappointed. I wanted a luxurious two bites of wonderful Italian chocolate torrone, I got a dry cube with a couple of almonds stuck in it.
