Nougat malban with pistachio 1kg

Malban Nougat with Pistachio is an exquisite treat crafted from traditional malban – a soft, jelly-like confection made from natural ingredients such as starch, sugar, and mastic, giving it a smooth yet chewy texture. Unlike classic nougat, malban has a silkier bite and is often infused with floral flavours like rosewater or orange blossom.

This variation is generously studded with premium pistachios, adding a delightful crunch to the chewy malban. The natural nuttiness of pistachios complements the subtle floral undertones, creating a refined, sophisticated sweet that is both satisfying and aromatic.

Traditionally enjoyed in Middle Eastern cultures, malban nougat is perfect for special occasions, as an after-dinner treat, or paired with tea or coffee. It also makes a thoughtful and unique gift for those who appreciate gourmet sweets.

Instructions for Use:

• Enjoy as a standalone sweet treat.
• Pair with Turkish coffee, mint tea, or cardamom tea for a rich, aromatic experience.
• Slice into small pieces and serve as part of a dessert platter alongside baklava and dried fruits.
• Use as a filling in pastries for an indulgent twist.
