Kolompeh traditionally was baked by Kermani women using local oils, dates from Kerman date palms, Persian walnuts, local cardamom, sesame, and local wheat flour. Industrially produced kolompeh has now become one of the main Kerman souvenirs.[4] It is manufactured using a variety of formats with a variety of nuts.
