What booza is

At Booza Levantina, we craft traditional Levantine ice cream defined by its legendary stretch, rich density, and slow-melting texture.

Unlike Western churned ice cream, our Booza is built on century-old artisanal techniques — using genuine orchid root (Salep) and resinous mastic tree gum.

The result is a velvety, aromatic masterpiece that is as captivating to experience as it is to taste.

The materials

Three things do the work

  • Finely ground salep powder in a glass bowl on a wooden bench, with dried orchid flowers alongside.

    Salep

    سحلب

    Genuine orchid root, finely ground and gently blended into the warm base while the dairy is still being pasteurised.

  • Pale, translucent tears of mastic resin spilling from a metal scoop onto a wooden bench.

    Mastic

    مستكة

    Resinous mastic tree gum, added as pure resin. It contributes a distinctive, aromatic note that lifts the creaminess rather than masking it.

  • Chopped roasted pistachios filling a wooden bowl on a linen cloth, with more scattered across the timber bench around it.

    Pistachio

    فستق

    Lightly roasted premium pistachios. Every finished log is hand-rolled in them, which is where the crust and the colour come from.

The craft

Precision, strength, and patience

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.
