"My natural prescription
is regarding
the professionality"
Cav. Faccio Carlo

In a small village of the Langhe, Cassinasco, Antonio Faccio prepared for the first time in 1856 a specialty, the nougat, following an original recipe that nowadays like in those times satisfies the most demanding connoisseurs with the supple taste of the nut of Langhe, the sweetness of the aroma of acacia from the hives, the strength of the fresh eggs and the lightness of vanilla.
In his simple workshop Antonio Faccio started producing this delicacy and selling it with greater and greater success in the villages where he transported his nougat simply carrying it in a small wooden case on his shoulders.
Later the recipe of our nougat passed to his constant and enterprising son Carlo who, at the beginning of last century, succeeded in promoting our product everywhere in big cities and even abroad; in fact, his products were rewarded with golden medals in Acqui in 1907 and Genoa in 1913.
Nowadays at Cassinasco his descendants, proud of the continuity linking them to « great-grandfather Carlin », are in the same workshop at side of the shop and are still producing with the same care in dosing the ingredients, always fresh and absolutely natural, and in the slow and methodical preparation of this nougat: one of the sweetest harmonies of taste produced in the Langhe region.
Nowadays we produce also La Torroncina a patented product.
