G. Savin Nougat de Montélimar Gift Bag

This traditional Nougat de Montélimar from the South of France is soft and light, with creamy lavender honey nougat enveloping crunchy roasted almonds and pistachios. Nougat is one of the most traditional Provençal desserts of Christmas—and we think it is the tastiest one. Inside the festive bag, individually wrapped pieces of nougat are ready to pass around at a party, serve with dessert or nibble with a cup of tea.

Tucked in the village of Montélimar, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, Suprem’Nougat G. Savin is the picture of small-batch artisan confection making. Husband-and-wife Georges and Simone Savin purchased the confectionery in 1957, eventually selling the business to their children who continue to operate it today alongside their own children. Run by just 15 employees, Suprem’Nougat G. Savin uses traditional techniques and tools to make everything by hand in miniscule 300-pound batches (tiny compared to industrial output).
