Size:12 PACK What could be simpler or tastier than this candy made from almonds, honey, pistachios, and egg whites? These nougat bars are made by Chabert et Guillot, based in the town of Montelimar, which has been the capital of nougat making ever since the first almond trees were introduced into the Vivarais region in 1650. These nougat bars are soft because they are made with beaten egg whites. Nougats, like calissons, are one of 13 traditional Christmas desserts in Provence. The remaining 11 are: The "pompe a l'huile" (flat sweet bun made with olive oil), the 4 "beggars" (representing the different catholic orders who vowed of poverty: nuts and hazelnuts for Augustinians, dried figs for the Franciscans, almonds for the Carmelites and raisins for the Dominicans), apple, pear, "verdau" (green melon kept in the grain), black nougat, sorbes, and fresh grapes. These nougat bars are imported from France.

Fresh and delicious - from Montelimar - "The worldwide capital of nougat!"
I have been to Montelimar, "the worldwide capital of nougat' and they were lovely as are these from Amazon. Crazy thing: I just ate one that I had purchased on Amazon on March of 2012 (2 years and 2 months ago) and the date on the package says 10/2012 BUT this still tasted fresh and delicious! Sounds impossible!? But true, I tell you. (I cannot say this for some of the Italian nougat in cute little boxes that I have bought through Amazon. They seem well sealed too but those get less tender as one moves further from Christmas.) And yes, as our family drove nearer to Montelimar, the Beatles' "Savoy Truffle" was on every tongue!

Wrong count!
Beware! A "Pack" is actually only one bar, not 6 like the answers in the "Questions and Answers" section seem to indicate. I ordered a 12 Pack and got only 12 bars. Lost in translation.
