And the truth is that it is not for less. It is a sweet that is an explosion of flavors thanks to the great concentration of pure chocolate accompanied by a most characteristic texture that toasted rice flakes give it.
In fact, the acceptance and impact that this nougat has had has accompanied us for generations for more than a century thanks to Philippe Suchard . Since he was a child, this Swiss chocolate dreamed of sharing and expanding his authentic passion for chocolate throughout the world, which he had had since he could remember.
Moreover, in 1826, Philippe was able to found his first chocolate shop from which he was able to start selling his sweets and nougats to many European countries, who from the first moment were delighted with his artisanal touch and intense flavor.
Although it was not until 1910 when the first chocolate shop opened in Spain under the name of Suchard. And since then, this characteristic type of nougat has flooded all our Christmas tables with all kinds of merit.
