<p>The remarkable baklava is a luscious dessert created with layers of thin phyllo dough intertwined with chopped nuts, all doused in a sweet, viscous syrup. The popularity of baklava has long surpassed borders, regions, and ethnic groups to become a dessert whose origin and invention is claimed by numerous countries. It is probable that it has an Assyrian origin, dating back to the 8th century, from where it spread out throughout the region all the way to Greece. The Greeks altered the recipe and created the thin sheets, known today as phyllo dough, but modern-day baklava is believed to be an original Turkish creation. However, it is almost impossible to pinpoint baklava's exact place of origin, and the debate about its authenticity is still going on between T&uuml;rkiye and Greece. Traditionally, baklava is made with sheets of paper-thin pastry at the bottom, followed by chopped nuts which are then topped with additional pastry layers. The other traditional way suggests alternating layers of phyllo dough with layers of chopped nuts. The original and authentic baklava should always have a nut-based filling, most commonly walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios, but modern versions have introduced unusual fillings such as apricots, chocolate, and even ground cookies. The dessert is typically prepared in large trays, and it is then sliced into squares, triangles, or diamond shapes before being doused in a luscious syrup made with water and sugar or honey. Very often, the syrup is flavored with sliced lemon, rose water, cinnamon, or cardamom. It is supposed to cover the entire tray and keep the delicate pastry succulent, creating a sweet and juicy cover around it. Iranian or Persian baklava differentiates itself because it is drier and lighter than other regional varieties, and it is often flavored with rose water. Even though it was once regarded as a decadent treat that was mostly enjoyed by the aristocracy, the famous baklava is now a traditional pastry and a dessert offered in numerous Oriental, Turkish, or Greek restaurants. It is also often found in pastry shops across the Balkan region all the way to the Middle East.</p>

Ankara’da bugüne kadar tattığım en rafine baklava deneyimi.
Bu baklavayı 10 yılı aşkın süredir tüketiyorum ve her defasında aynı ustalıkla karşılaşıyorum — lezzette istikrar, burada bir gelenek adeta.

En belirgin farkı, kullanılan yüksek kaliteli tereyağında gizli. O doygun tereyağı aroması, incecik açılmış hamurla ve tam kıvamında hazırlanmış şerbetle buluşunca ortaya gerçek anlamda dengeli ve sofistike bir tat çıkıyor. Klasik fıstıklı versiyonunu tercih ediyorum; fıstığın tazeliği ve yoğunluğu da en az diğer unsurlar kadar etkileyici.

Fiyatı, evet, piyasanın üzerinde olabilir. Ancak bu seviyede bir lezzet için ödenen bedel, kesinlikle karşılığını fazlasıyla veriyor.

Sabahtan satın aldığım bu baklava akşam hollandadaki evime geldiğinde halen kalitesinde bir değişiklik olmamıştı.
