What is authentic baklava?
Baklava has a long and diverse history so authentic isn’t as straight forward as Tiramisu, a relative newcomer to the dessert scene.

Our baklava is purposefully light and sweet. We often hear that people don’t like the extremely heavy syrup, or the rosewater taste, or the cinnamon taste, or the watery sugar only styles, or the ones that are very picturesque but don’t taste that good because they are hard, full of preservatives, and have a shelf life of 6 months.
