What We Stand For

Four things that define every back-lava baklava

  • Real Ingredients

    Butter, flour, nuts, sugar, and syrup—that’s all baklava needs. No gelatin, alcohol, or artificial flavors, vegetarian.

  • Pistachios from Gaziantep

    Our pistachios come from Gaziantep, the city synonymous with baklava. They add color, aroma, and crunch to our varieties.

  • Manual work

    The dough is hand-stretched paper-thin, layered, filled, and freshly baked – daily, in Hamburg.

  • Just sent

    Packaged in a sturdy metal tin, baklava stays fresh for up to 20 days. Shipping via DHL, free within Germany on orders over €60.

Why Baking Lava

Why customers across Germany choose Back-Lava

Six reasons – each with evidence you can verify yourself.

  1. The taste convinces – and stays

    Paper-thin dough, plenty of pistachios, syrup used sparingly: baklava, the way it’s baked in Gaziantep. You can taste the difference, and that is what our customers write to us most often.
