GOURMET AGREEMENTS
Here are some ideas to accompany this delicious Provencal confectionery:
Fresh fruits: Fresh fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, or kiwi slices, add a touch of freshness and contrast to the sweet flavors of nougat. They are especially delicious with almond nougat.
Vanilla ice cream: Provencal nougat can be served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of crunchy and creamy textures is very pleasant.
Dried fruits: Dried fruits such as walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts can be served alongside the nougat to add a crunchy dimension and complementary flavor.
Cheese : Cheese, especially goat cheese or mild blue cheese, can be a surprising option. The combination of sweet nougat with the saltiness of the cheese creates a unique balance of flavors.
Flavored honeys: Serve the nougat with different flavored honeys, such as lavender honey or acacia honey. These local Provencal honeys will enhance the flavors of the nougat.
Coffee or tea: Accompany your nougat with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a fragrant tea. Coffee can contrast with the sweetness of the nougat, while tea can complement it with subtle flavors.
Hot chocolate: If you opt for hot chocolate, make sure it is high quality. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder to intensify the flavors.

LEARN MORE
Provençal nougat, also called "nougat de Montélimar," is a traditional confection originating from the Provence region of France, and more specifically from the city of Montélimar. It is known for its soft texture, sweet flavors, and crunchiness provided by the dried fruits. Here is some additional information about Provençal nougat:
Basic ingredients: Provençal nougat is mainly composed of three basic ingredients: honey, almonds (or sometimes hazelnuts), and egg white. These ingredients are cooked together to create a nougat paste.
Varieties of nougat: There are two types of Provençal nougat: white nougat (soft white nougat) and black nougat (hard black nougat). White nougat is the most common and is soft, while black nougat is denser and brittle.
Flavors and fragrances: Nougat can be flavored with flavors such as vanilla, lavender, orange, or rose. Lavender is particularly popular in the Provence region.
Handcrafted: Traditionally, nougat is made by hand by artisan confectioners. The preparation requires great precision, as the mixture of honey and egg whites must be cooked at a precise temperature to obtain the right consistency.
