The Tradition of the Croccantini of San Marco dei Cavoti

San Marco dei Cavoti is a municipality in the Benevento area that sees its name linked to that of the production of a very tasty nougat, very crunchy and covered in dark chocolate called, precisely, ‘croccantino di San Marco dei Cavoti’. It is made by placing honey and sugar in the torroniera and heating it up to 80 degrees. The torroniera is made to run at high speed and the albumin dissolved in water, prepared the previous day, is added; then the torroniera is brought back to the minimum speed and the icing sugar, vanilla and almonds, suitably preheated to the same temperature as the mixture, are added. The product is rolled out into special moulds and then cut when cooled to the right temperature. Nougat croccantino is also produced by numerous companies in the Benevento area that respect the ancient traditional rules of production but have exported the product outside the regional borders, making it a delicacy that can be enjoyed throughout Italy.
