Jawzia

Jawzia (or djouzia) is a traditional walnut nougat originating from Constantine. This sweet delicacy is made from walnuts, honey, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract. It features delicately toasted nuts coated in a soft, honey-rich paste, enhanced with a touch of vanilla. Jawzia was created by the chefs of Ahmed Bey in the city of Constantine and was historically gifted to the sultans of the Ottoman Empire. Originally reserved for special occasions like Ramadan, it has since become more accessible due to modern production.
