Guirlache nougat is a sweet that has characterized Christmas since the Middle Ages. Although it has several creative fathers to its credit, we owe its expansion to the Arabs, although it was the French who introduced it in Spain, specifically in Aragon, where the majority of these nougats are produced. Its name comes from the French language, ''Girllage'' which refers to something toasted.
