Provençal nougat, also known as "nougat de Montélimar," is a traditional confectionery originating from the Provence region in France, specifically from the town of Montélimar. It is renowned for its soft texture, sweet flavors, and the crunch provided by nuts. Here are some additional details about Provençal nougat:

Basic Ingredients: Provençal nougat is primarily composed of three basic ingredients: honey, almonds (or sometimes hazelnuts), and egg whites. These ingredients are cooked together to create a nougat paste.

Varieties of Nougat: There are two types of Provençal nougat: white nougat (soft nougat) and black nougat (hard nougat). White nougat is the more common variety and is soft, while black nougat is denser and brittle.

Flavors and Aromas: Nougat can be flavored with ingredients such as vanilla, lavender, orange, or rose. Lavender is particularly popular in the Provence region.

Artisanal Production: Traditionally, nougat is handcrafted by confectionery artisans. The preparation process requires precision because the honey and egg white mixture must be cooked at a specific temperature to achieve the right consistency.
