Walnut baklava (cevizli baklava) from the renowned Karaköy Güllüoğlu, the Istanbul baklava house behind some of Turkey's most famous trays. This 900g box is built for sharing and for giving, with the pastry pressed into 40 thin layers of phyllo and filled throughout with walnuts. It arrives in a sturdy metal gift box, so it travels and presents well whether it is going to your own table or someone else's.
The walnuts are the heart of it. Karaköy Güllüoğlu uses milk-white walnuts from around Şebinkarahisar, a region in northern Turkey long prized for the quality of its walnut kernels. Walnut baklava has a different character from the better-known pistachio version: earthier, a little less sweet, with the warm, slightly bitter note that walnuts bring. The syrup soaks the layers without drowning them, so you still get the crisp snap of the phyllo against the soft nut filling.
What is inside: wheat flour, clarified butter, walnut kernel, beet sugar, water, wheat starch, egg and salt. It is made without glucose syrup. Because it is baked with real butter and walnuts, every piece is rich, so small squares go a long way.
How to serve it: walnut baklava is at its best at room temperature, alongside a small cup of unsweetened Turkish coffee or a glass of Turkish black tea. The bitterness of the coffee and the tannin of the tea balance the sugar and let the walnut flavour come forward. It is a natural centrepiece for gatherings, holidays and Eid tables, and a confident gift for anyone who already loves Turkish sweets.
Allergen note: contains gluten, milk and dairy, and egg. It may contain traces of peanuts and hazelnuts. Keep the box in a cool, dry place and reseal after opening to protect the texture of the pastry.
