French savoir-faire, pure gold.
Nena Edible Gold is the exclusive importer of Charrier edible gold in Iran — bringing a heritage of French gold-beating craftsmanship to the leading pastry chefs, chocolatiers, hotels and luxury food brands of Iran.
The finishing touch of the world's great kitchens.
Edible gold transforms a creation into an occasion. Charrier's roots as gold beaters go back to the 17th century; the house was taken over by Robert Charrier in 1930 and is today the French leader in edible gold, trusted by the most demanding craftsmen and kitchens.
Each sheet is made the traditional way: 23-carat gold is alloyed, cast, rolled into a ribbon, then beaten and cut by hand until it is only a fraction of a micron thick. The result is a leaf of extraordinary fineness and brilliance, approved as a food additive under E175.
As Charrier's exclusive importer in Iran, Nena Edible Gold manages the complete import process — ordering, customs, storage and distribution — and supports our professional clients with product guidance, so that every application is flawless.

A Persian love of gold, a growing luxury market.
Gold has symbolised celebration in Persian culture for millennia — from the treasures of the Achaemenid court to the sofreh aghd of today's weddings, the Nowruz table and the long night of Yalda. In Iran, how a celebration looks matters as much as how it tastes.
Iranian confectionery is famous in its own right: gaz from Isfahan, sohan from Qom, baklava from Yazd, saffron bastani ice cream from Tehran. Alongside this tradition, a new generation of pastry chefs, chocolatiers, luxury hotels and specialty cafés has emerged in Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz and on Kish Island, competing on craftsmanship and presentation.
Edible gold has become the signature of this premium segment — on wedding and celebration cakes, chocolate gift boxes, fine-dining desserts and luxury confectionery for Nowruz and corporate gifting.
As Charrier's exclusive importer, Nena Edible Gold brings authentic French edible gold to this market with a dependable supply chain: imported with full certification, stored under controlled conditions and delivered to professional clients across the country, with technical guidance on every format.
