SALICO FOODS Butter Nougats are a beloved classic from Taipei, offering the perfect blend of sweetness and crunch. Made with the finest ingredients such as sweet honey, fresh almonds, rich yolks, and almond flour, these nougats deliver a subtly sweet, creamy flavor with a delightful crunch from the almonds.
Crafted with care and tradition, this iconic Taiwanese treat has been perfected over decades, combining the spirit of Taiwanese craftsmanship with premium ingredients like New Zealand milk powder and Taiwanese peanuts. Whether you're indulging yourself or sharing with friends, this nougat offers a taste of Taiwan's sweet legacy.
Long ago, a frustrated scholar named Shang Lu kept failing his exams. One night, he dreamt of the God of Literature, Wenchang Dijun, who showed him peanuts turning into charging cows when mixed with syrup. Inspired, Shang Lu created a candy shaped like cows, believing it would bring him success.
The next year, he aced the exams, achieving a rare Triple Success and attributed his victory to the candy. Grateful, he shared it with others, and it became known as Niuga (nougat), a symbol of luck and fortune. Today, it’s the delicious nougat loved by many, carrying the sweet legacy of success.
