Karaköy Güllüoğlu Chocolate Baklava 900g in Gift Tin

Karaköy Güllüoğlu chocolate baklava brings together two Turkish pleasures in one bite: paper-thin baklava filo and chocolate. Each square is built from many sheets of hand-rolled dough, layered with a hazelnut filling and hazelnut praline, baked until the pastry shatters crisp, then finished with sugar syrup and a chocolate glaze that sets glossy and dark across the top. The taste sits between a classic baklava and a chocolate dessert. You get the buttery, flaky crunch of the filo and the warmth of roasted hazelnut, then the chocolate rounds it off so it reads richer and less sweet than honey-only baklava. The pieces are cut as neat squares, glazed individually, and packed in rows. Karaköy Güllüoğlu is one of Istanbul's most recognized baklava houses. The family's baklava tradition began in Gaziantep, the city most associated with the craft, and the Karaköy shop — the first baklava shop in Istanbul — opened in 1949. This chocolate variety is one of its modern flavors, made the same way the house makes its pistachio and walnut baklava. Net weight is 900 g, presented in a dark green and gold Güllüoğlu metal gift tin that holds the baklava in tidy rows — ready to give for Eid, Ramadan, the holidays, a birthday, or as a gift from Turkey, and sturdy enough to travel. Ingredients: wheat flour, clarified butter, hazelnut praline, chocolate, beet sugar, water, wheat starch, egg, salt. Made with no glucose syrup. Contains gluten, milk and egg; may contain traces of walnut and pistachio. Serving: best enjoyed at room temperature. If it has been refrigerated, let it sit out for about 30 minutes before serving so the pastry softens and the chocolate loosens. Keep the tin cool and dry, and carry it flat to protect the rows. Serve in small squares with Turkish coffee or tea.
