Crunchy black nougat

Black nougat is the oldest type of nougat — it is the original version, created long before egg whites were introduced to make white nougat. Here, there is no intermediary between honey and almonds: The French honey is slowly cooked until caramelised, coating the roasted almonds in a golden, crisp, intensely aromatic shell. This is confectionery in its purest form.

The generosity is unmistakable: It contains 56% almonds and 6.5% French honey — over 62% noble ingredients in total. With each bite, clusters of almonds are revealed, tightly bound by caramelised honey that snaps cleanly under the teeth. A touch of cognac adds depth and subtle warmth, while natural orange flavouring provides a bright citrus note that surprises and lingers. This unexpected combination gives this black nougat its distinctive character.

This nougat is crafted in collaboration with a nougat farmer — an artisan who keeps his own hives, harvests his own honey, and oversees every stage of production. This partnership reflects the philosophy of Maison Lilamand: since 1866, we have worked with artisans in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence who share our exacting standards and respect for traditional craft. We use our own almonds from Provence and our own confectionery expertise — and for our nougat, we value the skill of an artisan.

In Provence, black nougat is one of the thirteen traditional Christmas desserts, but it can be enjoyed all year round: at the end of a meal with strong coffee, crumbled over ice cream or chocolate desserts, or simply enjoyed on its own for the bold, satisfying crunch.
