Latifeh

$5.50

Sold out today. It will be back in the case tomorrow morning.

Latifeh at Crema House in Ottawa is a classic Persian cream pastry, made each day in our pasticceria. Two soft, powdered sponge layers sandwich a thick layer of fresh whipped cream, and the top is dusted with sugar and scattered with crushed pistachio. The name means delicate in Farsi, and that is the texture: the sponge gives way, the cream is cool and barely sweet, and the pistachio adds the only crunch. It is a single-serve pastry, one per person, eaten cold. It contains wheat, egg, dairy and pistachio. Latifeh is a fixture of Persian bakeries and tea tables, and it is the pastry we suggest to anyone new to Persian sweets. Order for pickup on Clyde Avenue, and take a glass of Persian Tea with it.
