A Gus Sclafani brand 100 years anniversary since 1911 Short story of torrone The roots of torrone history are based in ancient Rome. This delicacy made of honey, almonds, and egg whites was reserved for formal functions or as an offering to the gods. Various other cultures have versions of torrone, such as the Arabs, who are said to have introduced it to the Spanish. Italy has its own well-documented version of torrone in the year 1441, when it played a key role at the wedding of Bianca Maria Visconti and Francesco Sforza. The bride had jewels, money and riches as part of her dowry, but her father also offered the city of Cremona itself to be part of her dowry. To commemorate this, the court's pastry chefs decided to make a new confection in the shape of the city's tower Torrione, in order to represent the city. By mixing almonds, honey and beaten egg whites and cooking them, they precisely reproduced the large tower that dominated the city. Needless-to-say, the sweet was a great success with the guests who came from Europe, and soon requests for the city's special delicacy were received from all over the world. The Selafani family dates its origins to 1911 when their founder Gus Selafani started to import fine quality food products from Italy to the United States.
