The signature
Tradition, stretched
Booza is not scooped — it is pulled. Drag the handle and see how far it goes before it springs back.
Our story
Century-old technique, made in small batches
Unlike Western churned ice cream, our Booza is built on century-old artisanal techniques — using genuine orchid root (Salep) and resinous mastic tree gum.
At Booza Levantina, we craft traditional Levantine ice cream defined by its legendary stretch, rich density, and slow-melting texture.
The result is a velvety, aromatic masterpiece that is as captivating to experience as it is to taste. Every small batch is a tribute to heritage, authenticity, and uncompromised quality.
The signature flavour
Ashta
The flavour profile
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.
Rose water is used as an infusion, not a top note — it sits under the dairy rather than over it.
The art & technique
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. It is then hand-rolled in lightly roasted premium pistachios to complement this artisanal masterpiece.
