Irresistible soft nougat bars, variegated in the dough with delicious pastry creams and decorated on the surface with quality raw materials: these are our top selling product!
OUR CREATION
NOUGAT PASSION®
We were the first and passionate creators of the Nougat Passion® concept: starting from the original recipe written in 1925 by the founder Antonio Quaranta we created a new and seductive idea of nougat: combine - with artisan passion - real pastry creams, jams, biscuits and much more to the cozy softness of our nougat.
Even the packaging and the presentation of these products has followed this intuition renewing itself in an attractive, minimal and effective guise.
LA VITA DOLCE
THE STORY OF A FAMILY AND THEIR PASSION
The story of the Quaranta family’s nougat begins in Caravaggio in 1924, birthplace of the famous painter Michelangelo Merisi, known as “Il Caravaggio”. Almost a century of tradition and dedication. The founder Antonio Quaranta, together with his wife Alzira, was a passionate artisanal producer of nougat and other typical, traditional sweets from Cremona and Bergamo, including cotton candy, brittle and the special nougat with carob honey. A small laboratory in the heart of Caravaggio was the place that gave birth to the recipe book reporting precise details on amounts and ingredients, some of which are still used in production nowadays: after almost 100 years, our original "White nougat 101" almond soft nougat’s recipe has never changed!

TODAY'S COMPANY
BETWEEN TRADITION AND INNOVATION
Enrico Quaranta and his wife Tina Rezzolla were driven by the expertise gained throughout the story of the Company and brought it to the level of today's excellence of today, preserving the ancient memory and the peculiarity of artisanal specialty, exclusivity and finesse that make Quaranta's products so special.
The founder’s grandsons, Fabio and Massimo Quaranta, are now managing the Company following the highest hygiene and health quality standards, in a state-of-the-art new-generation facility where tradition meets innovation.
What differentiates us from our competitors are our machines which are identical to our old ones even though they are now computerized and able to mix ingredients in the right quantity. This means applying a traditional and artisanal method to technological instruments. Doing so, our nougat gets softer, foamy and rich, thus superior in quality.
Our biggest competitive advantage is our strong passion which has been handed down from father to son for three generations.
