1. It is made with the best natural honey from Sardinia the best dried fruits of the highest quality and of course one percent of egg white;
2. At least 50% of the weight of our nougat consists of that delicious dried fruit;
3. It contains no added sugars, no artificial sweeteners or corn-syrup (ingredients that are commonly used by other Italian nougat factories).

Honey already contains natural sugars. And that’s what our nougat is about. No additions, no tricks, just pure and honest ingredients. Our secret is that we have the traditional fabrication methods and the knowledge and wish to choose the very best natural ingredients. This combined with the fact that we take pride in offering you the best taste and experience possible makes that we can offer you the best Sardinian nougat.

When eaten cold the taste of the honey and the dried fruits softens a bit and the aromas of the essences in honey and dry fruit will be only fully released when in your mouth. Like an eruption of flavors. The only nougat that has this quality and that can be stored in the freezer is the nougat made with natural honey.

STORAGE and CONSERVATION

Conserve the Nougat Store our nougat in a cool place.Dried fruit is a very delicate ingredient. When exposed to high temperatures it can easily deteriorate. Therefore we recommend to store it in a place where the temperature is less than 20 ° C. Even better would be in the refrigerator in the closed package.

You can put Pruneddu nougat in your freezer. But don’t forget to cut it in smaller pieces before freezing it. In the freezer it stays ready for consumption even for several months.
We do advice you to store it in a closed container suitable for the freezer. In this way the nougat can and will not absorb any moisture and the consistency will remain the same as the day you’ve put it there. You can consume the nougat straight from the freezer.
