Sohan asali (fa|سوهان عسلی|sohān-e asali; from, a saffron toffee, and,) is a kind of Iranian confectionery originating in Isfahan, Iran. It is made from honey, sugar, saffron, almonds, pistachios and other nuts.
It is akin to a hard toffee, being brittle and breaking into shards. It differs from the more ubiquitous confectionery from the city of Qom as it uses no wheat and much less butter and oil. This makes it less short and able to hold its structure, whereas can disintegrate into powder when pressed hard.
