How much nougat to buy for Christmas? Nougat formats
When buying nougat in our store, one of our main questions is How much nougat to buy? How many servings of nougat are in a bar? What nougat format is best? Will I run short of nougat this Christmas?
Since we know that when making online purchases you lose that spontaneity of in-person shopping and cannot physically see the product to measure the nougat servings by eye, we want to help you with this post to choose the perfect format for you.
We will organize all our nougat primarily by its format (portion, cut, bar, torta…) and by approximately how many people can eat from each one:
Nougat consumption per person. The nougat serving:
The recommended nougat serving for an adult depends on the type of nougat but, from our experience, we estimate it is between 70 and 100 grams as average nougat consumption.
If the nougat is eaten during Christmas, consumption may be reduced and consumption may be between 35 and 65 grams, since these are heavier meals.
How to calculate how much nougat to buy?
To calculate how much nougat to buy, it is best to measure by weight. An adult typically eats a nougat serving of about 35-65 grams after a meal like Christmas dinner. If instead of a meal, it is a snack, consumption can easily reach 80-90g.
That said, the following formats adapt to all needs per person. We have some nougat formats perfect for 2 or 3 people and others where up to 10 people can eat.
Nougat servings in mini-tablet format: Portions
Our portions are equivalent to one nougat serving per person. We have two types of portions available to buy in our store: 25-gram portions, individually wrapped, and 50-gram portions.
The 50-gram portions are perfect as a snack for children and we also sell them in boxes with Christmas motifs. Super fun. Although you can find them and buy nougat portions here, we leave you some below.

Nougat in cut and tablet format: The ideal serving.
This 150-gram nougat format is equivalent to 4-5 servings. It is perfect for small families of 3 or 4 diners, although lately many people buy it to have more variety and finish it all in the same dinner. Here are some examples.

Nougat in bar format: The most classic format.
If you do not know how much nougat to buy this Christmas, we recommend this bar. This is the typical nougat bar.
Weighing 300 grams, it is equivalent to 6 or 7 nougat servings. It is the best-selling nougat format. For a few years now we have also been making 200-gram bars. They are a bit thinner but the same size.

Nougat in torta format. Ideal for sharing
It is a perfect nougat format for sharing servings. The round format, also called “coca,” is a classic and possibly the most traditional format to see in hard nougats such as Alicante, Guirlache or Turronico. In the past, Alicante nougats were known as Imperial Tortas.
They are usually purchased because they are a thinner format than traditional bars. In our store you do not need to calculate how much nougat to buy because we have different weights you can purchase: 100g, 200g and 400g. In a 400g nougat torta, about 8-10 people can eat.

Nougat in family format
The largest nougat format. Its weight is equivalent to 10 nougat servings and 10 people can eat from it perfectly. It is called “Catalan nougat bar” because it used to be purchased a lot in Catalonia, where nougat is usually sold by the cut.
Buying family nougat is possible with these bars and it is somewhat more economical when buying more than 500g.
Another type of family nougat is our nougat paste in a tub. Perfect for desserts and with the possibility of serving a spoonful of nougat for each diner.
