À propos de Bachir
Fondé en 1936 à Bikfaya, une ville de montagne du Mont-Liban, Bachir est l’un des noms les plus appréciés de la glace libanaise. Depuis des décennies, le rituel estival consistant à monter à Bikfaya pour un cornet Bachir fait partie de la vie libanaise. Ce que vend Bachir n’est pas une glace classique mais de la booza, le dessert glacé arabe traditionnel connu pour sa texture dense, élastique et filante.
That signature stretch comes from mastic (a resin that gives an aromatic chew) and sahlab, churned and pounded into a booza that is famously rolled in crushed pistachios. Alongside its ice cream, Bachir is also known for its mixed nuts. From its mountain origins, the brand has expanded internationally, opening in the Gulf and even Paris, carrying Lebanon’s most distinctive frozen tradition abroad.
Pourquoi Bachir compte
Bachir is more than a dessert shop, it’s a cultural landmark. Since 1936 it has preserved the art of traditional booza, a craft that predates industrial ice cream and defines a whole category of Lebanese sweets. Its expansion to the Gulf and Paris has made Bachir an ambassador for Lebanese food heritage, introducing international audiences to mastic-scented, pistachio-rolled ice cream. For Lebanese at home and in the diaspora, a taste of Bachir is a taste of Mount Lebanon summers.
