Arabians imported the torrone in Italy, Spain and South France. Each area has developed its own way of producing torrone with the influence of the native tradition.
In South Italy soft torrone is very popular, while in northern Italy crumbly torrone is popular.
The production in Ospedaletto d’Alpinolo, the area of Dolcidea’s territory, began in the 17th century thanks to one of the most famous italian abbey (Montevergine) at the top of the mountain.
Ospedaletto d’Alpinolo, with its 700 meter above sea level, is the last town on the road to Montevergine. The town has a long tradition (began in 1600) of the production of torrone that was sold to pilgrims on their way to the abbey.
