Tips For Choosing The Best Baklava Online

By Leticia Jensen


In simple terms baklava is a pastry dessert commonly associated with the Middle East. This delicacy is very rich and sweet and so is ideal as something to serve alongside the very strong coffee they tend to serve in countries such as Lebanon. However you do not necessarily have to travel hundreds of miles and with a bit of savvy you can find the best baklava online.

In simple terms this is a dessert made from layers of filo dough. It has a rich and sweet filling of chopped nuts and spices. The pastry is coated in sugar as well. Therefore the pastry is not recommended as a diet food but it is definitely a special treat ideal for people with a sweet tooth!

Therefore tradition is a big part when it comes to making traditional baklava. Ideally you want someone who either has made this to a family recipe or appreciates the traditional methods involved with making the pastry. This increases the chances of getting the best quality.

In modern times it is generally associated with countries in the Middle East. People travelling to Turkey and other countries in the region often go there to taste the local pastries in much the same way as people go to Italy for authentic pasta or France for the haute cuisine. Naturally some places are better at this than others!

There are other possible shortcuts. For example some companies may use pre rolled filo dough as opposed to making it themselves. While this may not be an issue for some people others may be more concerned with this as they want the freshest possible ingredients and the best possible taste.

It should be pointed out that this is broadly the recipe you can expect to see. Ideally you want to choose a company that uses fresh ingredients. This will mean you get a more authentic taste than one that uses additives or preservatives. There are variations on the recipe as well and you may choose one that uses different flavours that you personally prefer.

Another recommendation is to use companies that source specifically from the Middle East or Mediterranean sources. Ideally you also want one that gets their ingredients from sustainable sources. This is something that should be clearly stated on the website as this is something a company ought to be proud of. If it is not clear then they ought to include information giving you information on the ingredients contained in their products. If it is not clear then it is better to look elsewhere!

It is possible to find numerous companies that sell baklava. Often it is as simple as looking it up with your search engine. However it is best to compare a number of them and look for customer reviews and taste tests. Ideally a company should be confident enough to allow you to try a free sample. With the right approach you will find the best companies that offer the best products.
