Nougat, or torrone, is an Italian specialty, made in Australia with native honey and fresh-roasted almonds.

The origins of nougat are believed to link back to ancient Rome where a sweet made with honey, nuts and egg whites was prepared for festive occasions and as an offering to the gods. Italian nougat is often classed as either morbido (soft and chewy) or croccante (crunchy). Both are divine.
