Nougat originated in the Mediterranean, but it was in Montélimar, in the south of France, that it became an iconic specialty in the 17th century. Inspired by oriental recipes, it is traditionally made with honey, sugar, almonds, and egg white. Montélimar nougat really took off in the 19th century, driven by local artisans who perfected the recipe and made it a symbol of French gastronomy. To this day, it embodies artisanal expertise and Provençal sweetness.

If Montélimar is inseparable from nougat, it's no coincidence. Over the centuries, this small town in the Drôme department has built its reputation around this iconic sweet treat. Located on a busy thoroughfare, it became a must-see stopover for travelers drawn to this local specialty in the 19th century. Montélimar's nougat makers distinguished themselves with the finesse of their recipes, using quality ingredients from the surrounding region, such as lavender honey and Provençal almonds. Little by little, nougat became a true symbol of the town, carried by passionate artisans who make it a flagship product of French gastronomy. Even today, Montélimar continues to keep this tradition alive, with recognized and protected expertise, making it the undisputed benchmark for soft nougat. The Nougat Museum is also located there, which celebrates this history and allows visitors to discover the secrets of making this unique sweet treat.

Over time, it has evolved to adapt to tastes and manufacturing techniques: hard, dry versions, such as Montélimar nougat, have coexisted with softer nougats, sometimes enriched with various ingredients such as pistachios, almonds or even candied fruit.

With industrialization, nougat production has become largely standardized, but artisans have maintained traditional know-how, prioritizing the quality of raw materials. More recently, nougat has experienced a resurgence of interest thanks to innovation, with more gourmet and original creations incorporating spices, exotic flavors, or revisited textures, while remaining true to its sweet and warm identity.
