There seems to be a difference in vocabulary used to describe this confection depending on location. In the United States, this would only ever be called praline. Here, "nougat" refers to a suspension of air and sugar syrup stabilized with protein, usually egg whites. American nougat is generally chewy, may or may not contain nuts or chocolate, and is often used as a cheap filler for mass market candy bars. Still tasty, but a far cry from Italian nougat/praline.
I wouldn't even call this praline in my dialect 😅 I would probably describe it to people around me who are less food literate as a type of fudge. But I just know it as gianduja, after upgrading from "thick Nutella".
I think the difference is that Pralines are pure chocolate and usually have whole nuts inside, while these products are made from ground hazelnuts and have less chocolate in them
I love nougat! I grew up with the Persian variety, which is made with pistachios and generally white in color.
This video is so lovely! I want to visit Turin!
You should!

I have problems finding these kinda chocolates instead of the hard egg sugar candy xD
Turin Nougat, the high end version of Nutella.
I'd take both 😋
What a strange video. This isn't nougat, it's giandula. Brings back memories of Turin, though.
All these products are Pralines not nougat

I thought nougat is the same as torrone.
