A Sweet Legacy Spanning Centurie
The epitome of desserts.
In Greece, baklava has been embraced and cherished as a quintessential part of its culinary heritage. Greek baklava typically uses a combination of walnuts, almonds, and pistachios, and it is often flavored with cinnamon and cloves. The syrup, made with honey, sugar, and sometimes a hint of lemon, gives Greek baklava its distinctive sweetness and aroma.
While many cultures claim its origins, baklava’s history is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of various civilizations. The precise origin of baklava is often debated, but it is generally believed to have roots in the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, around 2,800 BC.
The Byzantine Empire, played a crucial role in the evolution of baklava. The Byzantines are credited with developing the concept of layered dough, a technique that would become a hallmark of baklava. They added spices and nuts, enriching the flavor and complexity of the dessert.
