In Iran, faloodeh is sold in ice cream stores and coffee shops in flavors such as pistachio, saffron, rosewater and honey, and can be served alongside bastani sonnati, a traditional Persian ice cream. Faloodeh Shirazi (Persian: فالوده شیرازی, romanized: fālūde Shirāzi), the version from the city of Shiraz, is particularly well-known.[6]
In 2023, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts added faloodeh-making to Iran's List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[7]
