Find out why this is the best time to enjoy nougat
The arrival of October heralds the beginning of the nougat season. At this time, bakeries and specialty stores, such as our beloved Bombonería Pons, are adorned with an exquisite variety of nougats that invite a unique sensory experience. From traditional options to innovative versions of chocolate nougat, there are flavors for all tastes. This season gives us an unparalleled opportunity to share, give and enjoy these bites that symbolize unity and well-being.
The artisanal origin of nougat and its link to the festive season
Nougat, traditionally made with almonds and honey, is a clear reflection of the art of artisanal confectionery. Originally from the Mediterranean region, it is believed that its roots could date back to the Muslim era in the Iberian Peninsula.
Over time, nougat has become a favourite sweet for the Christmas holidays due to its artistic production process and its ability to bring people together around the table.
This culinary art has been brought back in time, maintaining not only its authenticity, but also its connection with the joy of celebrations. The source of pleasure that a good piece of nougat represents is not only found in its flavour, but in the cultural and emotional background that accompanies it.
The tradition of nougat as a symbol of unity and celebration
Nougat has transcended as an unmistakable symbol of family unity and community celebrations.
At Christmas and throughout the month of nougat, this delicious sweet becomes the host of meetings, the bridge that connects emotions and a permanent reminder of shared moments. It is a tradition that invites us to strengthen ties and renew promises in the warm surroundings of home.

The key to a good nougat lies in the select choice of its ingredients. Only the best almonds and the purest honey are enough to create that unmistakable flavour that defines authentic nougat.
