Nougat

Nougat is made with sugar or honey-roasted nuts of many sorts often almonds, walnuts, pistachios or hazelnuts and sometimes chopped fruit. Depending on its composition it can be hard or chewy. It's likely to have originated from southern Europe, and its largely associated with the Christmas season. Cremona Italy is where nougat is traditionally made. As well as being chewy or hard, nougat come in two main forms white and brown. White nougat is the softer and is made with beaten egg white, and the harder nougat is made with caramelized sugar this sometimes gives is a crunchier texture. Here at Tax Free shopping we have assorted nougat and assorted chocolate coated nougat both come in robust tins that allow you to keep your nougat fresh and tasty for a long time. It's a really great alternative to the selection box or those heavily chocolate based treats because it offers something a little bit different.
