## Historical identity
Pistachio has a long history in Persian, Central Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern confectionery. Dubai chocolate is a recent format built from older pistachio, kataifi, knafeh, and chocolate traditions. The Pistachio and Dubai Chocolate histories provide that context; this page compares current retail jars.
