- Categories : Default

The Nougaterie Val Roubion, nestled in the heart of Provence, has been for decades the undisputed gem of artisanal confectionery. Proudly carrying on the family tradition, this renowned institution has continuously delighted taste buds with its range of exceptional nougats. Among these irresistible delights, the summer nougat and winter nougat hold a special place, distinguished by their unique and authentic seasonal compositions that showcase the richness of local fruits and ingredients.

Nougaterie Maison Val Roubion's summer nougat is a tasty tribute to sunny days and the region's sun-drenched cherries. Each year, the dedicated artisans carefully select the finest juicy cherries, exquisite almonds and golden honey, all grown locally in the surrounding orchards and apiaries. These premium ingredients are meticulously incorporated into the making of this summer nougat, which is distinguished by its bewitching sweetness and subtle marriage of fruity flavors and honeyed notes. Each bite evokes the freshness of summer breezes and the shimmering colors of Provencal markets, transporting tasters to a sun-drenched taste paradise.

On the other hand, Val Roubion's winter nougat embodies the enveloping charm of the cold, cosy winter months. This warm, comforting nougat skilfully marries the deep flavor of ripe figs with the delicate crunch of walnuts, all wrapped in the velvety sweetness of honey. The succulent figs, harvested at their peak, and the crunchy walnuts, carefully selected, give this nougat a richness and depth that warms the soul, evoking the crackle of open fires and the conviviality of winter gatherings. Each tasting recalls the delights of Christmas markets and the warm traditions of the season, inviting nougat lovers to savor a moment of pure comfort and gustatory wonder.

However, what makes these two seasonal creations from Nougaterie Val Roubion even more remarkable is the nougaterie's unwavering commitment to authenticity and quality. Relying on traditional artisanal practices, Nougaterie Val Roubion favors the use of natural, authentic ingredients, with no added artificial flavors or preservatives. This approach ensures that every bite of Summer Nougat or Winter Nougat is imbued with the freshness and purity of local ingredients, providing nougat lovers with a truly immersive experience, deeply rooted in the changing seasons of Provence.

By choosing to showcase fresh fruit and authentic nuts, Nougaterie Val Roubion demonstrates its passion for quality and its desire to preserve the very essence of regional ingredients. Summer nougat and winter nougat thus embody the culinary expression of seasonality, offering nougat lovers the opportunity to discover the richness and diversity of Provence's produce, season after season. But beware! Maison Val Roubion's winter nougat and summer nougat are seasonal but limited stars, jewels that don't appear all year round!

Imagine the vibrant flavors that tickle your taste buds, the explosion of juicy figs or delicate cherries mingling with the crunch of almonds... It's a seasonal pleasure not to be missed, an invitation to immerse yourself in a unique taste experience. So, as soon as these little treasures are available, don't hesitate!
