Greek love of Baklava is without boundaries, literally – we share this tradition with many nations including Turkey! It’s no wonder. Satisfying flaky phyllo packs a mouthwatering blend of real nuts, natural syrups and soul-soothing spices like cinnamon. It is irresistibly sweet, packed with flavor and nutrients. Learn more about baklava and why we can’t get enough of it.

Is Baklava Greek?

Baklava is a celebrated treasure in Greece and beyond but it is not “Greek” by origin. It originates in Central Asia and is embraced by many cultures in the region and beyond. It was brought to Greece by the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century and we both agree that it’s the best treat around!

Irresistible Baklava

Rich and flaky, it is made with layers of thin filo dough generously filled with chopped nuts, such as pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds. Sweetened with honey or syrup and flavored with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

 

Traditionally, due to the sheer value of its filling and exquisite flavor, baklava was a symbol of prosperity and reserved mainly for special occasions. Nowadays it is enjoyed as a special treat for all occasions, be they formal or casual.

It isn’t all empty calories either. A good Baklava is packed with nutrients in its coarsely ground real nuts and honey. Not like we need excuses, because there’s always room for this royal treat!
