Description
This stamp completes the promotion of the Aleppo Pine by illustrating its emblematic culinary use through the preparation of Assidat Zgougou. The image shows the black seeds of the pine (zgougou) collected in a bowl, ready to be transformed into this creamy cream traditionally consumed during Mouled (birth of the Prophet). This program celebrates a socio-cultural tradition unique to Tunisia, where the resources of the forest are transformed into a symbol of sharing and religious celebration.
