Mix Italian Toffees | 100g

Today we are talking about nougat, an authentic confectionary delicacy which, although tradition depicts it as predominantly Christmasy, at least in Italy it is consumed quite happily throughout the year. The term derives from the Latin 'torrere' (toasting), and there is a clear reference to the toasted nuts it is made of.

A mixture of egg whites, honey and sugar is filled with hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts or roasted almonds; the classic bar is then usually covered with two thin layers of wafer.
