TBenevento hosts the nougat and artisanal chocolate fair. BenTorrone, the traditional festival that, for years, has marked the calendar of events in the city of Benevento and the entire Sannio.

BenTorrone is finally back, the traditional festival dedicated to nougat and artisanal chocolate that, for years, has marked the calendar of events in the city of Benevento and the entire Sannio.

Scheduled from Thursday 24 November to Sunday 27 November, from 10 am to midnight, the event will unfold along Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi, dressing up the historic centre of the Samnite city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


The fair is organized by the Associazione Italia Eventi, in collaboration with the Pro Loco Samnium, the patronage of the Municipality of Benevento, thanks to the commitment of the mayor Clemente Mastella and the councilor Luigi Ambrosone, and the UNOE National Union of Event Organizers.

Tastings, workshops, children's shows and street artists: BenTorrone promises to be a party within a party, in which all the nougat factories of Sannio and Irpinia will take part, but also many artisanal businesses from Naples, Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia. A unique opportunity to do some shopping, look for small Christmas gifts and enjoy the artistic and historical heritage of the city.

The itinerant cultural factory of artisanal chocolate will also be present, thanks to which show cooking and live events will come to life. Unmissable are those with the history and processing of Benevento nougat, so that it is possible to share the local culinary culture with all the participants in the event.

The nougat of Benevento

Egg white, honey, hazelnuts and almonds. These are the ingredients that give life to the magic of torrone, a traditional dessert from Benevento now available in many different ways. Soft or hard, white or chocolate, almonds or hazelnuts, and so on and so forth.

The fame of this delicacy – prepared especially for the Christmas holidays – has been alive since the 17th century, when the preparations of local artisans managed to reach Rome and it was regularly consumed by the Papal State. Valued and loved also by the Bourbons, among the most sought-after local specialties is the typical croccantino of San Marco dei Cavoti.

Recognized as a typical product of the Campania Region, nougat represents an important economy of the area, as well as an induced effect for local honey and dried fruit producers.
