My name is Monica, and I'm the founder of Sholè Desserts.
I've always been passionate about bringing people together through food and sharing the rich flavours of different cultures. Sholè was born from my love of Persian desserts and a desire to introduce Australians to a dessert that deserves far more recognition.
The name Sholè is inspired by Sholeh Zard, a traditional Persian saffron rice pudding whose name translates to "silky yellow." Growing up, Sholeh Zard was at the centre of our family celebrations, where food was a way of expressing love, generosity and hospitality.
At Sholè, we've reimagined this timeless dessert for today's consumer while staying true to its authentic roots. Our signature Sholeh Zard showcases premium Persian saffron, one of the world's most prized spices, renowned for its distinctive aroma, vibrant colour and long history in traditional cuisine.
Alongside our signature product, we offer a light, creamy rice pudding made using premium Persian rice, naturally known for its delicate nutty flavour and exceptional texture. Every batch is slow-cooked using traditional methods with carefully selected, premium-quality ingredients to create a dessert that is rich in flavour, comforting and indulgent.
