Description

Gaz is Persian nougat — soft, chewy, scented with rose water and packed with pistachios. This is the gift-box edition: 28% shelled pistachios, each piece individually wrapped, presented in a decorative box with a matching gift bag. It is the version you bring to someone’s house rather than the one you keep in the cupboard.

What Makes This One a Gift Box

We sell the same 28% pistachio gaz in a standard 350 g pack for everyday eating. This one is different in three ways that matter when you are giving it to someone:

  • Individually wrapped pieces. About 23 pieces, each in its own foil wrapper. Nothing sticks together, nothing dries out once the box is opened, and guests can take one without touching the rest.
  • A decorative presentation box patterned after Persian tilework, with a matching gift bag. It needs no wrapping.
  • It travels. The rigid box protects soft nougat in a way a flow-wrapped tray does not.

If you want gaz to eat yourself, buy the 350 g pack — it is better value by weight. Buy this one when the presentation is part of the point.

What Gaz Tastes Like

Soft and chewy rather than hard or brittle, somewhere between nougat and marshmallow, with a clean floral note from rose water and whole pistachios through every piece. At 28% pistachio there is nut in every bite rather than the occasional one.

Traditionally from Isfahan, gaz is a fixture of Nowruz and Yalda Night tables, and it is what gets offered alongside Persian tea when guests arrive. Our guide to Persian sweets explains how it sits alongside noghl and nabaat.

How to Serve It

  • With tea. The standard pairing. Gaz is sweet enough that unsweetened black tea is the right partner.
  • On a sweets platter alongside pistachios, dried fruit and nabaat.
  • As a host gift. Arriving with sweets is expected at a Persian home — see our guide to what to bring a Persian host.
  • Straight from the box. One piece is 68 calories, which is the main reason the wrappers help.

Storage

Keep it in a cool, dry place and the pieces stay soft for months. Do not refrigerate. Cold firms up the glucose and turns soft gaz hard and chalky, and humidity makes it sticky. A cupboard away from the stove is ideal.
