Torrone gelato

Although the name suggests otherwise, torrone gelato is not a gelato flavor but a variety of very soft nougat (torrone). It is traditionally associated with Reggio Calabria, though it is also found in Messina and Bagnara. It should not be confused with the traditional Bagnara nougat. The base is usually made with citrus-flavored brown sugar, and the nougat is typically studded with almonds and various candied fruit.

Sometimes, the base is colored to create colorful layers. It is usually coated in dark chocolate, and although it is mainly associated with Christmastime, it is produced and enjoyed all year round.
