Black or white nougat, enhanced by Miel de Provence IGP

Label Rouge nougat is available in white and black. It is made from untrimmed, roasted almonds (35% minimum for white and 55% minimum for black), from the current or previous year's harvest. The second main ingredient is Provence IGP lavender honey, often associated with Label Rouge "Miel de lavande et de lavandin", for the sweet touch and intense flavor.

Label Rouge nougat will be marketed in the form of individually wrapped nougat bars or bonbons.

Made the old-fashioned way, in a cauldron

The product's superior quality is linked to its demanding production conditions. The nougat-maker meticulously selects almonds of uniform size to ensure the product's consistency. Roasting must be carried out the day before or the day of nougat production, to guarantee the development and preservation of aromas. Label Rouge nougat is cooked in an open cauldron, allowing visual control of the product's proper cooking. This traditional method expresses the know-how of the manufacturers and ensures the quality of this artisanal product.

A contribution to the development of its raw material supply chains

Located in Montélimar or close to this historic nougat production zone in France, the operators behind this recognition wish to source most of their supplies from local almond supply chains. Some 1,000 hectares of almond trees are planted nationwide, producing 500 tonnes of almonds. The aim is to double the area planted and triple the harvest within 5 years. Label Rouge nougat will also contribute to the development of the already well-organized Miel de Provence PGI sector.
