Whole, lightly toasted almonds, selected honey, egg white and sugar: slowly cooked and handmade on marble. The result is crunchy, crumbly when bitten, fragrant nougat that is impossible to replicate using industrial processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Lamporecchio Nougat Is Different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, Lamporecchio, in the Valdinievole area of the province of Pistoia, has been the benchmark for artisanal Tuscan nougat. \u003cstrong\u003eLamporecchio nougat\u003c\/strong\u003e stands apart from industrial production thanks to three essential characteristics that leave no room for shortcuts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhole almonds with their skins\u003c\/strong\u003e: lightly toasted during preparation, neither ground into paste nor crushed.
