Traditional Koloocheh of Kashan and Pashmak
Traditional Koloocheh of Kashan and Pashmak are among the souvenirs and foods of Kashan that you should know before you decide to go to Kashan.
It’s a shame to go to Kashan and not know about its souvenirs. Rose water is just one of Kashan’s souvenirs.
In Iran, few cities do not have their own special cookies and pastries, one of which is Kashan with its 8000-year-old history and its ancient traditions.
This Koloocheh is very different from the Koloocheh found in the northern region, and it’s completely different from the usual Koloocheh you’re thinking about.
This Koloocheh is not a stuffed type and is made with wheat flour and bran. They use cardamom, rose water, and animal oil in its cooking.
This Koloocheh is not very sweet and is decorated with pistachio powder on top
An interesting point!
In Kashan, every shop you want to prepare traditional Koloocheh from, they always ask a question that might be both strange and very unusual to you:
They ask, do you want Pashmak with it?!
Don’t be surprised. In Kashan, this Koloocheh is served with Pashmak. They pour the Pashmak in a copper bowl and put the Koloochehs in a copper tray next to it, which looks very beautiful, especially in ceremonies and holidays like Nowruz.
After rose water, traditional Koloocheh and Pashmak are among the most authentic souvenirs of Kashan.
Now why is it served with Pashmak?
So far, no specific reason or narrative has been mentioned for it, and this tradition has existed since time immemorial. Maybe because this Koloocheh is not very sweet, Pashmak, which is a souvenir from Kashan, is placed alongside it to balance their tastes and sweetness together.
