Baklava, has been an essential dessert for centuries. It’s a delicious accompaniment to every occasion, from weddings and holidays to entertaining guests and special celebrations. However, today, the variety of baklava has multiplied so much that it’s become difficult for consumers to distinguish authentic Antep baklava from other desserts.
So, how do you recognize real baklava? Here are some things to consider:
- The Art of Thin Dough;
The soul of baklava is the yufka (phyllo dough). The thin sheets of yufka (phyllo dough) rolled out by the masters are the secret to authentic baklava. A single tray contains approximately 40 layers. If the yufka makes a crispy sound when tapped with a fork, you’ve found the right baklava. - Butter Quality;
Authentic Antep baklava is made only with pure butter. Baklava made with margarine or other oils leaves a heavy taste on the palate. However, baklava made with high-quality butter is light, has a balanced flavor, and is a delight to eat. - Color of the Peanut Inside;
Pistachios are the heart of baklava. Real pistachios are vibrant green, adding both appearance and unique flavor to the dessert. Pale, brownish pistachios reduce quality. - Sherbet Balance;
Good baklava never gets stale. This is because the syrup is balanced. The syrup should be neither too thick nor too light. When you slice it, it shouldn’t stick to your hand and should leave a fresh, light taste on your palate. - The Labor of the Master;
Every dessert can be made, but baklava requires mastery. Baklava, produced using traditional Gaziantep methods, reveals that effort in every bite. That’s why, at Sultan of Baklava, we combine years of experience with modern production, offering the same quality in every tray.
