We’re here for every occasion. This year, we at Madò online patisserie have opened the doors of our workshop to a new product that will leave you speechless. For the occasion of November 2, known as “All Souls' Day,” we decided to embrace tradition by preparing for you the “typical sweet” of this day: soft chocolate nougat. This crunchy dark chocolate shell, which wraps around a melt-in-your-mouth soft center, is aptly named “Torrone dei Morti.” However, our master pastry chefs have gotten creative, crafting many variations for those who love to experiment and savor new flavors. So, what are you waiting for? Try them all!

Indulge in intense flavor. Our nougats, perfect for snacking or as a sweet after a meal, are crafted using traditional Neapolitan pastry methods, with top-quality ingredients and entirely made in Italy. Covered with fine dark chocolate, all our nougats (1kg) have a soft heart inside, which you can choose in various flavors: almond, chocolate with coffee beans, pistachio with sour cherries, hazelnut, and white chocolate with Sicilian dried fruits (Sicilian Cassata nougat). Just thinking about it makes your mouth water, doesn’t it? You can purchase them individually, or, since we at Madò always want to satisfy everyone’s tastes, you can buy a mix (still 1kg) where you’ll find an equal portion of each flavor. Well – borrowing the famous Fonzies line – if you don’t try them all, you’re only half as satisfied!

Choose professionalism and safety. Thanks to our shipping options throughout Italy and Europe, everyone can savor this Neapolitan pastry gem, ordering it comfortably from their couch. Your distant relatives will be able to taste the traditions of their homeland, feeling a little closer to home. Just one click, and within 48 working hours, it will be in your hands or theirs. Shipping is entirely secure: all products are packaged with refrigerated packaging in sealed boxes (thermal box +5°), and the packaging, besides being meticulously crafted (we all know presentation matters), is made of recyclable materials. While you head to our site to explore this delight, here are a few tips to enjoy the nougats at their best: consume within 90 days from the production date, keep at a constant temperature of +5°, and store away from heat sources.

CURIOSITY: WHY DO PEOPLE EAT AND GIVE NOUGAT ON ALL SOULS' DAY?

On November 2, it’s traditional to prepare sweets. Some come in the form of cookies, like “fave dei morti” and “ossa di morto” (dead man’s bones). Others are bread-based, like “le mani” and “pane dei morti” (bread of the dead). Then there are those made with marzipan, such as “apostle’s fingers” and “martorana fruit.” The Neapolitan tradition, however, offers the so-called “Torrone dei Morti” (soft nougat, “muollo”), named in honor of Saint Antonio of Casoria. The nougat serves as a symbolic tribute to the dead, intended to sweeten their journey toward eternity. According to tradition, children used to take nougat to graves, believing that the deceased might return to visit on the night between November 1 and 2. A meal was set out in the nicest room as a tribute, consisting of two slices of bread, a pinch of salt, some lemon, and a glass of water. The nougats represent, therefore, a way to honor the departed while also making the idea of death a little sweeter.
