[custom_adv] As souvenirs, you should definitely consider some Persian sweets as they are unique and delicious. [custom_adv] By far my favorite sweets are the pistachio baklava made in Yazd. The best baklava in Yazd can be found at Haj Khalife Halirahbar shop in central Amir Chakhmaq Square. Expect a long queue, because there always is, but trust me, totally worth your time. [custom_adv] Gaz is the nougat Persian style traditionally from Isfahan, a sweet mixed with chopped pistachios and almonds. Much sugar-based, I confess I’m not crazy about it. [custom_adv] Sohan among the things to buy and take home as souvenir Sohan is another type of Iranian confectionery, a Persian-style toffee with chopped walnuts and pistachios mixed in it. The city of Qom is famous for its sohan as it’s traditionally from there and considered the best. [custom_adv] There are many different types such as sohan gol, sesame sohan, honey (sohan hasali), walnut, ginger or cinnamon sohan. Sohan gol is the original and my favorite. A kilo of good quality Iranian sohan costs anywhere between.
