The Craft
Process, ingredients and the standards behind them. Photographed rather than described — which is why this page is short until the shoot is done.

Ingredients
Wheat semolina, dates, clarified butter, pistachio. Named, sourced, and unchanged where changing them would change the product.
The mould
Maamoul is pressed, not shaped. The crimp on the top of every piece comes from a carved mould, and it is the reason two maamoul from different houses never look alike.
Temper
Chocolate at true temper — a matt-satin sheen and a clean snap. Held at 18 °C through storage and transport.
