Semita de Merey (Cashew Nut Nougat)

Photo coming soon
The candy is made from the cashew's actual nut (merey) rather than the more commonly used cashew fruit, and Barahona's dry southern climate is one of the country's best cashew-growing zones.
Roasted cashews are bound in a hardened raw-sugar syrup and cut into bars, sold from roadside tables and colmados throughout Barahona province.
Why it's made this way: Barahona and the surrounding Enriquillo region are the Dominican Republic's main cashew-growing area, making this nut candy a genuine regional specialty.
