Purple Baklava with Pistachios 1 kg – Handcrafted Turkish Mor Baklava

Purple baklava — known in Turkish as mor baklava — is one of the most visually striking variations of the classic Turkish pastry. Each piece is built from razor-thin layers of hand-stretched phyllo dough tinted with a signature purple hue, then filled with finely ground Gaziantep pistachios and finished with a light syrup soak that keeps the layers crisp rather than soggy. The result is a dessert that is instantly recognisable on any table.

The pistachio filling is the defining flavour of this baklava. Gaziantep (Antep) pistachios are prized across Turkey for their vivid green colour, low oil content, and clean, grassy sweetness — qualities that have earned the city a registered geographical indication for its baklava tradition. The nuts are worked into a fine paste, fıstık ezmesi, which is layered between the purple sheets, creating pockets of dense, nutty richness in every bite. The dough itself is made from wheat flour and clarified butter, giving the finished baklava its characteristic shattering crispness.

This 1 kg tray contains enough baklava to serve 10–15 people comfortably as a dessert, making it well suited to family gatherings, dinner parties, or as a considered gift. Store at room temperature in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, for up to 14 days. Serve at room temperature — no reheating needed — alongside strong Turkish coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.
