Premium Ingredients for a Superior Taste

The quality of walnut baklava lies in the careful selection of its ingredients:

• Walnuts: Fresh and flavorful, bringing the dessert to life.
• Phyllo Dough: Silky thin layers, up to 40 sheets in each baklava.
• Ghee: Natural and additive-free, providing richness.
• Sugar: Pure and natural, balancing the flavors.

These ingredients come together to create a dessert that delights with every bite.

Ingredients: Flour, eggs, salt, water, starch, sugar, ghee, and walnuts.

Storage and Shelf Life: Since walnut baklava contains sugar, it is best consumed fresh. 

Its shelf life is short, and proper storage is key to preserving its crunchiness:

• Store baklava in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Avoid refrigeration unless necessary; if refrigerated, consume within 5 days in winter or 3 days in summer.
• For the best experience, slightly warm the baklava before serving, as the natural ghee may solidify in cooler temperatures.

How to make Baklava with Walnuts?

Ghee is spread between the thinly rolled phyllo sheets and each layer is filled with plenty of walnuts. Baklava with walnuts, prepared with natural ingredients, is baked in special stone ovens with oak wood fire without using additives. The result is a dessert with a unique flavour.
