قشطة

Our signature Ashta is the crown jewel of Levantine confectionery. Crafted with rich, simmered high quality dairy and subtly infused with aromatic rose water, this flavour delivers an ethereal balance of floral sweetness and deep, buttery richness.

Pure mastic resin adds a distinctive, aromatic note that lifts the creaminess, offering a refined taste profile that is soothing, timeless, and unmistakable.

The shared method

How it is made

Precision, strength and patience — every batch, the same way.

Creating true Ashta Booza requires precision, strength, and patience. We begin by slowly pasteurising fresh dairy to gently blend in finely ground Salep and natural mastic resin.

Once the base matures, it undergoes the traditional churning and pounding process in a batch freezer, where it is worked continuously to develop its iconic elasticity and dense structure.

Instead of trapping air like standard ice cream, our technique yields a dense, velvety stretch that releases its floral, creamy flavour slowly with every bite.
