Mann wa Salwa, Syrian White Pistachio Nougat & Simsimiya Sesame Bars
Cardamom-scented Iraqi and Levantine Mann wa Salwa confections, pillowy Syrian white pistachio nougat rolls and crisp golden Simsimiya sesame bars are prized hospitality sweets for Eid and family visits. Each piece pairs soft whipped nougat or caramel crunch with generous whole roasted nuts.
Mann wa Salwa: Cardamom-kissed heritage sweets from Baghdad to Damascus
Originating in northern Iraq and Baghdad patisseries before becoming a favourite across the Levant, Mann wa Salwa is whipped into firm, snowy bites perfumed with fragrant green cardamom, studded with whole green pistachios and lightly dusted so every piece lifts cleanly from the box.
Syrian pistachio nougat rolls and double-nut blocks
Aleppine and Damascene confectioners craft extra-soft white nougat scented with Chios mastic and blossom water, either packed edge-to-edge with whole roasted pistachios or rolled around a vibrant green pistachio paste core. Served in bite-sized slices beside bitter cardamom coffee, the contrast of floral sweetness and roasted nuts shines.
Simsimiya sesame brittle bars for tea time and travel
Alongside soft nougat, golden toasted sesame seeds bound in thin amber syrup form crisp Simsimiya bars – shelf-stable, individually wrapped treats for afternoon black tea or lunchboxes.
