About Baclava

Baklava is a rich, sweet dessert with roots in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines. It consists of layers of delicate phyllo dough, brushed with butter, and filled with a mixture of finely chopped nuts, such as pistachios, walnuts, or almonds, often flavored with cinnamon or cloves. The layers are baked and soaked in a sticky, fragrant syrup made from honey or sugar, lemon juice, and sometimes rose water. While baklava contains healthy components like fiber and nutrients from the nuts, it is also high in sugar, fat, and calories, making it best enjoyed in moderation. The dessert’s indulgent flavor and flaky texture have earned it worldwide popularity, but its nutritional profile means it’s suited more for occasional consumption rather than daily meals.
