History of Sohan Qom

Qom Sohan is the most famous Sohan in Iran. The most diverse variety of Sohan is prepared and produced in Qom. In the following text, we will refer to the history of Qom Sohan and the reason why this sweet or Halva, is named Sohan.

History

It was first introduced at a grand opening ceremony of the court hall of Hazrat Masoumeh (1289-1920 A.H.), where the fourth King of Iran, Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, was expected to attend. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to make it, however, he sent his successor, who was the Head of the Qajar tribe.

His successor was bestowed with gifts by the elders of Qom that would be passed on to the King. One of the gifts were from Mulla Brahim Shamai, who presented halva with sugar sprinkled on top. The Head of the Qajar was claimed to say, “This sweet cut and digested my food just like a Sohan that polishes and sharpens iron,” when he got a taste of the dessert–basically comparing it to a rasp file.

He then brought the dessert back to the King because of its exceptional taste. Ever since then, more people started consuming Sohan, which began as a dish reserved for elders and nobles.

The original ingredients of Sohan Halva included flour, sugar, oil, pistachios, saffron, cardamom, and rose water, and it was cooked as a soft halva. However, gradually, by adding other ingredients such as egg yolk and replacing wheat flour with wheat germ flour, the sweet gained a firmer and more brittle texture, which also increased its shelf life.

Initially, there were only 4-5 workshops producing Sohan, but now there are over 700 Sohan baking workshops active in the city of Qom.

The average daily production of Sohan in the city of Qom is about 25 tons, of which 20 tons are exported outside the province. The remaining amount is purchased within the province by pilgrims, travelers, and residents.
