Apricot, fig and pistachio nougat

This soft, white nougat most vividly evokes the south of France. Dried apricot, dried fig, pistachio and almond: four sun-filled flavours brought together in a smooth paste enriched with French honey. With each bite, the textures intertwine and the aromas respond to one another: the tender sweetness of fig, the fruity tang of apricot, the delicate crunch of pistachio, and the familiar roundness of almond.

The recipe is generous and every ingredient has its place: 19% French honey, 13% almonds, 8.3% dried apricots, 6.9% dried figs and 5.5% pistachios. The honey envelops everything with a floral sweetness, while the dried fruits introduce a fleshy, fruity dimension that is unique within the range. Pistachios, with their gentle, buttery flavour and vibrant green hue, complete this distinctly Mediterranean composition.

Like all our nougats, this fruit-filled variation is crafted in collaboration with a nougat farmer — an artisan who harvests their own honey and oversees every stage of production. For Confiserie Lilamand, whose core craft has been candied fruit since 1866, creating a nougat enriched with dried fruits is a natural extension of our expertise. Apricots and figs are an integral part of our work as confectioners in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. We know them well, we work with them regularly, and we understand how they contribute to the excellence of our confectionery.

This apricot, fig and pistachio nougat is best enjoyed at the end of a meal, as an afternoon treat with fragrant tea or cut into small pieces to accompany fresh goat’s cheese, yoghurt or an autumn fruit salad.
