An Ancient Handcrafted Tradition

Sicilian nougat is prepared artisanally according to ancient methods: the almonds are slowly toasted and blended with honey and sugar, then poured hot onto marble slabs and manually shaped into rectangular or round forms, then cut with sharp knives. Some versions include the addition of candied fruit, pistachios, or chocolate, for an even more indulgent touch.

The result is a sweet with a crunchy or crumbly texture, depending on local recipes, and an intense flavor, where each ingredient maintains its own identity.
