Montélimar Nougat, tasting at the Atelier du Goût
Nougat is a very old confectionery, mentioned as early as the Middle Ages in Arabic writings. It then developed throughout the Mediterranean basin, where almond trees grow. It's called "turrón" in Spain and "torrone" in Italy. The word nougat comes from the Occitan "nogat" meaning "nut", in reference to the almond; it only became "nougat" in the 19th century.
