This is how Back-Lava Baklava is made
Paper-thin dough made by hand, pistachios from Gaziantep, baked fresh daily in Hamburg – and free from gelatin, alcohol, or artificial flavors.
Five ingredients. No shortcuts.
Baklava needs very little: butter, flour, nuts, sugar, and syrup. That is exactly what we stick to. Our baklava contains no gelatin, no alcohol, and no artificial flavorings – it is vegetarian.
The pistachios come from Gaziantep, the Turkish city famous for baklava. Their color and aroma are the reason why we continue to source them from there.
