Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've tasted the No. 7 Chabert et Guillot nougats on previous trips to France and have visited Montelimar in the southern part of France. As part of a special presentation for my French class, I treated the class to a sampling of the nougats. Everyone enjoyed them immensely!

Nougat (Latin Nux Gatum)has very distance origins. it is found mentioned in Arab manuscripts in the 12th century. Known as haloua or halwa (halva). But even earlier, Phoenicians spread the recipe as far as Turkey and Greece, Italy, Spain and more. In the Middle Ages, the white Nougat made in Marseille is famou and soon the entire Provence region and the South East of France starts making it. The most famous one is from Montelimar. The main ingredients are almonds, honey, stiffly beaten egg whites (where the characteristic white color comes from). The Chabert & Guillot company has been producing Nougat since the early 1800s. This tin is named for the Nationale 7, the main road in Montelimar, a scene of memorable traffic jams from holiday makers, who, thus stuck, discovered the famous candy! 250 gram reusable tin.
