Cat tongues with nougat by Berger look like the classic cat tongue, yet they hold a surprise inside. Cat tongues are narrow, flat pieces of chocolate with rounded ends, whose shape is reminiscent of a cat's tongue. One tongue is exactly one bite; there is no need to break anything off here. In this variety, Berger fills the tongues with nougat. Nougat is a mixture of finely ground, roasted nuts, sugar, and chocolate—soft and spreadable. Here, it contains two types of nuts: hazelnuts at 10.8% and almonds at 7.92% of the total quantity. The manufacturer describes the result as cat tongues made of organic milk chocolate with a fine organic nougat filling.

Taste: thin shell, nutty core

The milk chocolate shell is thin and melts quickly. Then the core takes over. The nougat has a warm, roasted hazelnut flavor, underlying which is the finer sweetness of the almond. It is soft, almost creamy, and coats the tongue. The shell is just a thin layer, while the core is generous. This is why every tongue tastes more of nuts than cocoa, and the nutty flavor lingers in the mouth longer than the chocolate. Raw cane sugar and a hint of vanilla round off the experience.

Those who are looking for the pure cat tongue with its quick, milky melt will find the filling too rich. For them, the unfilled variety is the better choice.

Usage: on the saucer, in the bowl, as a gift

Filled cat tongues are ideal for the moment when a whole bar would be too much. Place one tongue on the saucer next to a cappuccino or two on a plate with afternoon tea. When guests are over, fill them into a small bowl on the coffee table. Everyone can take a piece without needing to break anything off. For Sunday cake, two tongues go perfectly next to a piece of Gugelhupf or apple pie on the plate.

Because the tongues are thin and nougat softens with heat, they need a cool place. Keep them cool and dry, protected from heat and sun.

Our tip: Place a bowl of the nougat tongues next to a bowl of the Organic Milk Chocolate Cat Tongues (plain). Your guests won't know which ones are filled until they try them.

Origin: specialties from Lofer

At Berger, cat tongues are among the specialties, alongside dragees, bars, and nougat delices. Like all confectionery from the company, they are created in Lofer in the Pinzgau Saalachtal valley. Hubert and Christine Berger started there in 1994. According to Christine Berger, their principle of artisanal production remains to this day, even after many years of growth. In the meantime, their children Anna and Franz are gradually taking over the management.

All ingredients in these cat tongues are sourced from organic farming; the organic control number is AT-BIO-301. According to the manufacturer, the raw cane sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and the nuts (with the exception of the hazelnuts) are Fairtrade certified. Their share of the pack is 77.1%.

For whom: for nougat lovers and little moments of pleasure

The filled cat tongues are suitable for anyone who loves nougat and enjoys a single piece with their coffee. They are perfect as a small gift for hosts or as a treat for people who have a weakness for nuts. In families, the pack is easy to divide fairly because each tongue is already a pre-portioned piece. Those who prefer nougat in bar form will find it in the Milk Chocolate Almond Nougat Filled bar. All specialties from Lofer can be found on the Berger Confiserie page.

Allergen information: The cat tongues contain milk as well as hazelnuts and almonds (tree nuts) and may contain traces of peanuts. They are not suitable for people with a milk or nut allergy.
