Milk Chocolate Almond Nougat filled by Berger poses a simple question. How does nougat taste when almonds play the lead role instead of hazelnuts? Nougat is a soft mixture of finely ground nuts and sugar, often with cocoa, usually made from hazelnuts. Berger uses almonds for this. The bar is one of the filled bars, which the manufacturer considers the trademark of the confectionery. A filled bar is a variation of the classic praline. The filling sits in a thin chocolate shell and is sealed with chocolate so you can break it off piece by piece. For nougat lovers, this is a praline meant for sharing.

Mild, nutty, and as soft as a praline

The bar tastes of mild milk chocolate, followed by a round, nutty almond note. Almonds are gentler than hazelnuts. They have less of a roasted character and more of a fine, almost marzipan-like sweetness. The nougat is creamy and gives way immediately when bitten, while the milk chocolate shell melts delicately.

Raw cane sugar is the first ingredient, providing a warm, slightly caramelly sweetness. Vanilla rounds it off. Cocoa, milk, and almond are well-balanced, with no single component overpowering the others. Those expecting a strongly roasted hazelnut note will find the bar too mild. Its character is soft and nutty, more like a praline than a chocolate bar.

With coffee, tea, and as a sweet finish

The bar feels most at home next to a cup of coffee with milk, a cappuccino, or a black tea. After a Sunday meal, two pieces are enough as a dessert. Because the filling is creamy, it tastes best at room temperature. If the bar comes from a cool room, give it a few minutes before opening.

It also works well on a dessert plate. Cut it into cubes and place them next to vanilla ice cream, apple strudel, or a mug of hot cocoa. Store the bar in a cool, dry place, away from heaters and sunlight. This keeps the nougat creamy and the shell shiny.

Our tip: Place a piece on a freshly baked, still-warm pancake and fold it over. After a minute, the almond nougat will have melted, and the filling will be ready.

Organic almonds and craftsmanship from Lofer

The bar is created in Lofer in the Pinzgau Saalachtal valley, Berger's only production site. The family has been making pralines and bars there since 1994. Today, Christine, Hubert, Anna, and Franz Berger share the management. Franz is a chocolatier and is responsible for product development and production, among other things.

For the filled bars, Hubert Berger describes a handcrafted process. The filling is cooked, poured into a wafer-thin chocolate shell, and coated with chocolate. That is how this almond nougat is also made. The ingredients come from organic farming; the organic control number is AT-BIO-301. With 11.9% almonds, the filling is generously packed. The assortment shows that Berger is not afraid to venture into new roles for nuts. In addition to nut nougat, there are bars with walnut, caramel, and spices.

For nougat fans and praline lovers

This bar is for you if you love nougat and are in the mood for a gentler variety. It is perfect for those who like to have a praline with their coffee and makes a great gift when visiting family. Another creamy filling made from organic whole milk is the filled Tonka Bean bar. The filled Pomegranate Dark Chocolate bar is dark and fruity. You can find the entire assortment at Berger Confiserie.

Note: The bar contains milk and almonds (tree nuts) and may contain traces of peanuts. It is not suitable for people with nut allergies.
