Pairings and Suggestions

These luxurious nougats can be enjoyed on their own or paired with various accompaniments to enhance their flavor profile. Some pairing suggestions include:

• Tea or coffee: The subtle sweetness of the nougats pairs beautifully with a hot beverage, such as Angelina’s signature tea or coffee.
• Dessert wine: Complement the honeyed notes of the nougats with a glass of dessert wine, such as Sauternes or Moscato d’Asti.
• Fruit: Serve alongside fresh or dried fruit for a delightful contrast in textures and flavors.

A Presidential Delicacy

The international reputation of Montélimar nougats is largely attributed to Emile Loubet, Montélimar’s mayor and later President of France (1899–1906). Loubet’s generous offerings of nougats to royalty and foreign dignitaries at the Élysée Palace elevated their status, ultimately leading to the designation of Nougat de Montélimar as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in 2003.

Storage Instructions

To maintain the freshness and quality of the nougats, store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
