Sohan asali ( Persian: سوهان عسلی, romanized: sohān-e asali; from asal "honey") is a kind of Iranian confectionery ( sohan) originating in Esfahan, Iran. [1] [2]
It is made of honey, sugar, saffron, almond, pistachios and other nuts. [3] [2] It is akin to a hard toffee, being brittle and breaking into shards. It varies from the more ubiquitous Sohan from the city of Qom (sohān-e-Qomi) as it uses no wheat and much less butter and/or oil. So it’s not as short and holds its structure whilst Qom Sohan can disintegrate into powder when pressed hard.
