This is the mixed baklava tin from Karaköy Güllüoğlu, the Istanbul house that opened the city's first baklava shop in 1949 and still operates from the same Karaköy neighborhood five generations later. The Güllü family traces its baklava-making to 1843, when Hacı Mehmed Güllü — known as Güllü Çelebi — set up a baklava counter in Gaziantep after training in Aleppo and Damascus; the date embossed on the tin's lid marks that beginning.
Inside the dark-green metal gift tin, 900 grams of assorted baklava arranged in neat rows. The maker lists five varieties for this box: pistachio baklava, walnut baklava, pistachio Nadir dolama (a densely filled roll named for current master Nadir Güllü), pistachio dürüm rolls, and walnut saray sarması — the palace-style wrap. The exact arrangement can vary slightly by production day.
Each piece comes from the family's Karaköy facility, where roughly 2.5 tons of baklava are made daily: hand-rolled phyllo layered with butter, filled with Gaziantep pistachios or walnuts, baked, then finished with syrup. The metal tin protects the layers in transit and seals well enough to keep leftover pieces at room temperature for several days — though a 900g tin shared at a gathering rarely produces leftovers.
The tin format makes this the version of Güllüoğlu baklava most people choose as a gift: the embossed lid, the 1843 mark, and the assortment mean the recipient tastes the house's range rather than a single variety.
