Making artisanal nougat is a labor-intensive process that requires dedication and care. The essential ingredients are almonds, honey, sugar, and egg white. The mixture of thesse ingredients is cooked slowly over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning, until a smooth, uniform paste is a obtained.

The next step is pressing and molding the nougat, which is then left to cool before being cut into portions. This entire process is what produces the delicious artisanal nougats we all know.
