Nougat cubes - a South Tyrolean confectionery specialty from Oberhöller

Nougat is a confectionery made from sugar, honey, egg whites, and nuts. It comes in many shapes and flavors, and there are both white and dark varieties. It does not contain chocolate and is a product in its own right. However, some types of nougat do contain chocolate to create a special flavor.

Nougat and chocolate are bothconfectionery , but they differ in their production and composition. Chocolate consists mainly of cocoa beans, sugar, and milk. Nougat, on the other hand, consists of honey, sugar, and egg whites, along with nuts or other ingredients such as fruit. Nougat has a soft, creamy texture and a sweet, nutty flavor, while chocolate has a harder texture and a sweet, cocoa-rich taste.
