History & Origin

Baklava reached highly refined forms in Ottoman palace and regional pastry traditions. Turkish pistachio baklava, especially the protected Gaziantep style, uses pistachios, clarified butter and sugar syrup rather than honey; this home version uses prepared filo while preserving that flavour profile.
