Baklawa (Baklava) w/Walnuts, 28-30 Pieces

I purchased this product for my husband as a birthday gift in early in December 1910 because he loves baklawa.and I don't bake. We were very pleased, it was delicious, my first purchase was the whole sheet walnut based flavor and the second was a 1/2 sheet of the walnut and 1/2 sheet of the pistachio. Both were excellent but we prefer walnuts. I have since placed three more orders and intend to continue ordering from time to time each order was of AONE quality. The price is right and the pieces are the perfect size for a little snack of sweets. The only complaint (?) I have is that it was so good it went too fast and I never had to refrigerate it.Try it as Martha Stewart would say "It's a good thing"!

A small guilty please I got on sale. I received it about a week and a half ago. I was surprised at the size of the box and tray the thirty pieces were packaged in. Very, very generous sized pieces.So, I'm trying to save it by eating a piece or two at a time. Savor the flavor, since it has been quite some time since I've had any baklava. And, oh my, is this ever good baklava!My suggestion is to put the box in the refrigerator. Take it out at least 20 - 30 minutes before you indulge. That way it brings these wonderful pieces to room temperature and the flavor comes back to full richness.So, as I said, I'm trying to save it but ... the last fifteen pieces keep calling out to me.DO try this baklava. It is really quite special.

So many years ago at a party I tried baklava and it was wonderful! In my little rural area store bought just wasn't the same, I tried Amazon, leery I made a purchase from this seller back in 2012, than 2013. In 2014-15 We tried different sellers and flavors. We returned back in 2016 thru today and I just have to say we have yet to be disappointed! Large amount, flaky, and moist! Absolute heaven! Only regret was taking a leave of absence in 2014 and 15!! Very tasty!Update 2023: for the 12 year we made our annual Christmas purchase of this delectable delight, however sadly it was a miss this year, excessively dry and crumbling, I was saddened but to be fair this was the first miss from them for us.Update: December 2019, sadly I had to reduce my 5 star review down to a 4 star due to increase in product and shipping cost hikes.Update: 2022 and we are still buying and happily so! Haha at this point wish they had a loyalty punch card 🤣😉 this year marks 10 years! We still highly recommend for flavor. Prices… we splurge with this purchase. They have become part of or family tradition!

I was very skeptical about purchasing this Baklava, but it is one of the best I have ever had! It is packaged perfectly, shipping took two days via Fed-Ex, and the product itself is scrumptious. Not too sweet and very fresh and crispy. This is better than the local Turkish bakery! Very reasonably priced and delicious. I will certainly purchase more in the future! If you are in the mood for baklava, this is the perfect choice for you!As a side note Baklava can stay at room temperature for 14 days, refrigerated for 45 days and frozen for several months.

I have long been a fan of Baklava. Of course, everyone has their own idea of what constitues good baklava, and there are regional differences. The best baklava I've had was when I was in Athens. Athens baklava was moist (not crispy) with plenty of dripping syrup and a hint of honey; there were 3 layers of nuts which were firm but not crunchy and there were subtle overtones of cinnamon and allspice (I think) and a hint of citrus zest. Fabulous!This Shatila Mediterranean-Mideast baklava is disappointing: the single nut layer is moist, but the philo layers are crispy and mostly dry but have a strong butter-like flavor, and a greasy consistency (a-la butter flavored crisco?) There is a single layer of nuts which lacks spice or complex flavors...mostly just nutty; it is mildly sweet, less so than most baklava; no real syrup to speak of...just tastes sweet without even a hint of honey. It tastes ok, but not what I was hoping for. Seems fresh, and delivery was quick. Just my 2 cents.

You know when you open a box and think "isn't there a machine for that?" That was my first thought upon opening a commercial looking box and finding unevenly cut pieces of dessert. . . and then I took a bite.I instantly regretted my thought, because these baklava were not made by a machine, but by people, and you can tell by the amazing quality and taste.When I got the box I thought it was just generic factory baklava (I'm not a fan of the packaging, it looks commercial not like the high quality bakery it is), but it was just as good as what I used to find as a kid at the Greek festival in my hometown. Definitely a good buy, and I will definitely buy more when I have another event.

i have to change my review. :( it tasted good i thought....then the rancid after taste came. it was shipped without refrigeration and i think sat in a hot truck somewhere :(

I just spent time in Greece last month, one of many places I visited along the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea. I was also in the Middle East (Israel). And I can tell you, this does NOT even compare to the real stuff.This Baklava is very, very dry and very conservative on the quantity and quality of ingredients. It lacks flavor big time! And the pieces are so small they are bite size. The nuts are minced so fine you can't even tell they are nuts. Instead it's like a dry, pasty filling with little flavor.In Greece, the pieces are large (huge compared to what you get with this), overflowing with the moist, nutty filling, very flavorful, with lots of honey, spices, and phyllo. I had Baklava purchased at a bakery on Patmos Island, Greece that blows this Baklava out of the water by far.I won't be buying from here again. I'll keep looking elsewhere.I gave two stars for packaging and speed. If I only had to rate the product itself, it would've gotten zero stars.
