BAKLAVA

Baklava, the flakey, nutty, sweet pastry, is best associated with the exotic orient and the spice roads of the east.

The many peoples of Asia Minor and the Mediterranean still claim to possess the one true and correct baklava.

As baklava’s origins are intrinsically tied to the history of the region, much of which pre-dates the boundaries and borders of our modern-day countries, all can accurately claim partial ownership.
