How it all started.

Founded in 1926 by Vital Gormez, a young Maître Nougatier with great appetite. He felt that he had to create his own nougat recipe and just boldly went for it. He followed his gut feeling.
He did what he had to do: to make the tastiest nougat in the World.

Who are we?

We are the descendants of Vital, our grandfather, and we couldn't do less than honour his entrepreneurship.
We do not compromise. We will serve you one of the best nougats you've ever tasted.
We will not ask a ridiculously high price for it, as our factory is hi-tech, in favour of the finest ingredients and best practices.
We rarely wear a tie, or a deux-pièce.

What does 'quality' even mean?

It's all about choosing the best components, and combining them with enough time and dedication.
We cook in copper kettles, because they're the best.
Fresh egg white is whipped, to create fluffiness. Heavy sugar syrup is combined with natural honey, to create sweetness. Almonds are peeled and gently roasted, to top the recipe off.
Many good things are made out of three, and then our nougat is born.

Where are we?

Vital is based in Belgium, a country with a long tradition of experienced craftsmen. Our nougat is handmade with care in a third generation company near the city of Ghent.
