ASHRAFI
GAZ (Registered Trade Mark 32574)
THE TRADITIONAL IRANIAN SWEET
What
is it?
Gaz is a delicious sweet that originates from the city of Esfahan,
located in the central plateau of Iran. Gaz is derived from the
juices and stems of a desert plant called Angebin which is a member
of the Tamarisk family, native to the Zagross mountain range located
to the west of the city. It is commonly associated with the Manna
of sacred books. This is combined with other ingredients including
Pistachio or Almond kernels, Rose Water and Egg White and is recognised
for its medicinal qualities.

in a new window, 6Mb).
How
is it made?
Traditionally, the juice and stems were collected from the mountains
and brought into town where copper vessels were filled with the
raw mixture which was then beaten until it reached the desired
consistency and fashioned by hand into its desired shape. You
can still see this process in action today in Esfahan.
Ashrafi
Gaz applies this same process within its own factory complex, in
Esfahan, utilising traditional techniques combined with modern
equipment to prepare, mix, cut
and pack this unique and delicious sweet.
