Nougat de Montélimar is a traditional French confectionery made primarily from sugar, honey, and almonds. Originating from the town of Montélimar in the Drôme region, this sweet treat has a chewy texture and is often enjoyed as a dessert or snack. The recipe typically includes egg whites, which give it a light and airy quality, and it may also contain other nuts or flavorings. This nougat is recognized for its distinctive white color and is often sold in rectangular blocks. It has a long history, dating back to the 18th century, and is protected by a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status, ensuring that only nougat produced in Montélimar can bear its name.
