Heviin boov (Mongolian: ул боов) is a traditional Mongolian biscuit assembled in layers and often served as a New Year food.[1] The number of layers in the cake represents the status of the family. The individual biscuits are stamped with a wooden block that imprints a design unique to the family, passed down through generations. It is traditionally served with aaruul in between the layers or on top.[2]
Ul boov is prepared by Mongolians for the Mongolian lunar new year, Tsagaan Sar. Tsagaan Sar is a lavish feast, requiring preparation days in advance, as the men and women make large quantities of buuz as a whole family, along with ul boov, a pastry reserved for both dessert and presentation. During Mongolia's Communist period, the government banned Tsagaan Sar after Choibalsan's death in 1952 and tried to replace it with a holiday called "Collective Herder's Day", but the holiday was practiced again after the 1990 Democratic Revolution in Mongolia.[4]
