Beehive Nougat (Iz-Zebbugi Hawn)

Learn all about Beehive Nougat (Iz-Zebbugi Hawn), Sweets & Sweet Products in Zebbug, - Malta

Here in Malta, BEEHIVE confectionery, which is also known as Iz-Zebbugi Hawn was established in 1948. It remains one of the island's best-known manufacturers of sweets. It has been run as a family business ever since, and now we're the third generation of nougat producers in Malta. We've been making nougat for the last 28 years and during this time we have made different types of nougat. We made nougat with more nuts and 6 different flavours which are strawberry, orange, vanilla, mint, chocolate and banana. We put more nuts, almonds, cashew nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts and pistachios in the hard nougat. Over the years we have always improved the quality of our nougat to be the best in Malta and Gozo. In 2010 we moved our business to the centre of Zebbug for a bigger, better and hygienic place. This also helped us produce more different types of pastries such as chocolate items, apple pies, Maltese Read Moretraditional bread puddings, St Martin's pie, and much more. We are very proud and renowned for our antique stalls as well, which include mahogany tables and lighted showcases. We take a lot of care of these stalls since they are traditional and very old. These are normally decorated for each different Maltese & Gozitan feast, including an illustration of the village Saints' statue. These nougat stalls provide wide varieties of soft and hard nougat. Maltese nougat is associated with the Maltese feasts because it was introduced way back by the Knights of Malta, who used to distribute it on special occasions. Today the most popular nougat version is the soft vanilla one with lots of nuts in it. It always sells really well and people love it. We supply nougat also at weddings receptions and souvenir shops in malta as well.
