Type	Confectionery
Place of origin	Iran
Region or state	Isfahan
Main ingredients	honey, sugar, saffron, almond or other nuts and oil
Cookbook: Sohan Asali

It is made of honey, sugar, saffron, almond, pistachios and other nuts and cooking oil. It’s 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.
