About Azerbaijani baklava

Azerbaijani Baklava is a traditional dessert from Azerbaijani cuisine, renowned for its intricate layers and rich flavor. It consists of thin layers of dough filled with a mixture of finely ground nuts, typically walnuts or hazelnuts, and sweetened with syrup or honey. The top layer is adorned with a nut piece, often to symbolize prosperity, and coated with a fragrant glaze made from egg yolk and saffron for added color and aroma. While its nut content provides healthy fats and essential nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium, Azerbaijani Baklava is high in sugar and calories, making it an indulgent treat best enjoyed in moderation. This dessert is a festive staple, often served during holidays such as Novruz and other celebrations, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of Azerbaijan.
