Baklava (Almond, 12 Pack)

I had a piece of this baklava 30 minutes after it was delivered to my house, which was as fresh as I could eat it. I would say on a scale of 1 - 10, where 10 is what I had in Istanbul's old city fresh out of the oven, this rates a solid 8.5, which is to say it's as good as you can get from Amazon.I would not hesitate to buy this again. It's very good!

The box is a good size and the shipping was on time [you need to pay for shipping, not a prime). However, the nuts that says pistachio, is not all pistachio. It is mixed. In the Middle East or Mediterranean countries, if it says pistachio baklava, it’s finely ground pistachio. This has chopped pistachios which is not great and in only one layer along with other nuts. It’s on the dry side. If they can add only pistachios and ground them and add more liquid, it has potential.

I'm not a big dessert person, but love this stuff. And, I've eaten baklava at a couple dozen ethnic restaurants and bakeries who use traditional recipes as well as made it myself, and this is one of the best two or three I've ever tasted. It's a great recipe, arrives fresh, and lasts several days. Not cheap, but since I can no longer buy anything good locally and rarely have time to make it myself this has become my go to brand. In fact I've purchased it three times so far and all were uniformly excellent. Bottom line: It's horrifically expensive but worth every penny.

I need baklava in my life. I’ve had a hard time finding any locally for several years now and it was very frustrating. The craving became so strong that I actually resorted to ordering pastry from Amazon. THIS BAKLAVA IS INCREDIBLE! It’s exactly how I like it; simple, gooey, not too sweet, no funky flavors and the best ingredients. With Coronavirus crisis, today was a tough day in my area. This was exactly what I needed today. No weird odor, packaged beautifully, crafted expertly. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world. I’m grateful!

These are so good. My wife and I have been ordering these for some time.... but the last few orders have been even better (if that's possible). Seems like they are bigger and more flaky. (for the better)

This baklava is PHENOMENAL. Just the right amount of everything-- flakiness, nuttiness, sweet and oil. Sometimes baklava can be soaking in oil and/or honey and the bottom half of it is yuck in the mouth. The experience of this baklava is Nirvana. It arrived super, super fresh and well packed to keep it fresh. I'd like to say that I was able to make this box last a week, but in truth it was really about 3.5 days. I couldn't help myself. Just glad that I don't need a prescription for something that brings this much pleasure.

I make my own baklava but sometimes things taste better if someone else does the work. This comes pretty darn close to what I make.This isn't made with honey, YAY! I get a little hint of the lemon and the flower water. If you haven't tried baklava before this is a great one to try. I would pick the one with your favorite nuts. Pecan for me!

I've been getting baklava from Greek festivals for several decades, and I believe the traditional presentation is layer, nuts and honey, repeat. This bakery dumps all the nuts into one thick layer, which makes for a real "fall-apart mess" when serving or eating- like making lasagna with just a top and bottom layer and all the meat, sauce and cheese dumped in the middle.
