Petals Creamery has opened in Los Gatos, offering a unique selection of Persian-inspired ice cream flavors like saffron pistachio and orange blossom cream. Founded by Nathan Gaudreau and Marcel Khorsand, the shop reflects their cultural heritage and culinary dreams. Delays in permits and equipment imported from Italy pushed back their launch, but they persevered. The shop aims to become a late-night destination for Silicon Valley residents, showcasing floral flavors and baked goods that celebrate their Persian roots, crafted by Khorsand, who infuses traditional ingredients like saffron and rose into their offerings.
We faced delays making our way through the permitting process. We had to wait for equipment to arrive from Italy.
I love working with saffron. It's my favorite ingredient. It became a symbol of what I do.
The food is a product of our cultural upbringing, and it's a full-circle moment for both of us.
I make a pistachio cupcake, baklava cannoli, rose cake, and saffron crème brûlée.
