Gulluoglu Dry Baklava with Pistachio, 14 pieces (1.1 lb - 500 gr), daily fresh shipment from Istanbul/Turkey

This is truly outstanding Baklava! Very, very fresh. I ordered it on Oct. 22, it was made on Oct. 23 and I received it on Oct. 25. The Baklava is made in Turkey and ships daily to the U.S. It is made with a sugar/water syrup like it should be, not taking the lazy way and using honey which makes it too sweet. I made Baklava a lot when I was younger, and this is much better than mine! My first visit to Istanbul was when I was 7 (my father was stationed in Sofia and we would take mini breaks and drive to Istanbul to get out from under the Iron Curtain). My family lived in Ankara for 3 years. I lived in Jerusalem for 2 years, and Damascus for 4. All of that was to say that I have eaten a lot of Baklava in my 65 years, and know when it is good and when it is not.I thought the packaging was excellent. The baklava itself is in a plastic container which was sealed so tightly that there was no way to open it without the aid of scissors. It is in a fun presentation package with pictures of Turkey and 4 of the 6 generations of the family who have been making this tasty treat-for over 150 years. I don’t think they would have made it past the first generation if they weren’t doing something right. I feel sorry for the reviewers who wouldn’t even taste it because some of the layers shifted in shipping. That happens with home made, and I just restack the layer.Baklava runs $5-10 a slice in a restaurant and isn’t as good, I consider this excellent value for the price.The box lists the ingredients: Sugar, flour, butter, water, pistachio, starch, egg, salt, lemon juice and citric acid. All natural ingredients. Baklava has a fairly long shelf life just being pastry and nuts so take your time indulging in this yummy desert!

Wonderfully made. Fresh. Flaky with a perfect balance of sweetness. Surprisingly quick delivery. Going to have to order again. Also came with a little sample of Turkish coffee which was amazing. Next time I'll have to take a photo.

This was very good. It tasted very like the authentic Turkish baklava that I have had in the past. If you like a very moist baklava, you might find it helpful to add a little bit of honey to it. I found that while it wasn’t absolutely necessary to add any honey, it did make for a slightly different experience. I don’t think you would want it to have any extra honey in the package because if it had any more than it does, I feel like it would wind up soggy. It had just the right amount of moisture to arrive at your door in good condition. I like it fine either way, but adding an extra drizzle of honey was a nice touch. I would definitely purchase this again.

We purchased this 5 boxes of this Baklava a little over a week before Valentine's Day. When it arrived after 4 days, it appeared that customs had opened the box and removed half of the contents. We reached out to güllüoğlu and they promptly responded to our problem. Then they shipped the missing boxes which arrived the day before Valentine's Day. Their customer service was outstanding and it is hard to find such service in today's society. And if that weren't enough, the Baklava was so tasty. The wife and daughters LOVED the Baklava. Over the years, our family has had Baklava made here in the USA and so it was amazing to get Baklava from Turkey direct and so fresh. The ladies in our family all said that this was the best Baklava that they have ever tasted. This was an excellent gift item and I will surely be back again for more very soon! Thank you güllüoğlu!

This is a great product it is the real deal. Not too sweet just right not too sticky and syrupy either. Again just right the real deal real authentic Turkish baklava straight from Turkey where else company sent me a nice letter address to me personally along with pictures of four generations of the family they didn't have pictures going back any further. They're probably weren't pictures that far back. The company made it a personal deal addressed to me and that was makes you feel good when somebody does that in addition they sent me a nice small package of Turkish delight in four different varieties. Free of charge it was all included in the price no extra charge. They did not have to do that but it was nice that they did I would have been satisfied with it the way it was. I had my own business Painting and Restoring Homes for nearly 40 years until I broke my back in for places when I fell from a 24-foot ladder. I always gave the customer everything I said I would plus a little bit more and they always came back every time they needed some work done. I was strictly word of Mouth. They recommended me to their friends one man even put me in their neighborhood newsletter. I can tell you when somebody gives you your money's worth plus a little extra it makes you want to go back and I will be back for more. Can't say enough good about these people they made me feel like I was part of their family. Thank you to everyone involved in making this product and the people who took the time to send me a handwritten letter plus a little bit extra product for free in the form of Tucker's delight something I have never tried before but it is very good. I have not tried everything from this company but I don't think they make anything but I wouldn't like. The only thing I say is I wish they would have larger boxes say three or six pound boxes. They do sell multiples of the same size box but it would be nice to get larger boxes especially with the variety pack that like they have to be able to buy at least a 1 kilo box preferably a 3 or 5 kilo box. The one I purchased was a 1/2 kilo box. It had 14 pieces in it and somehow 6 pieces seem to have disappeared within a few hours of opening the box and I enjoyed every Damn one of them!! I could have easily sat there and eaten the whole box along with another box just like it in one setting they are that good. I opened the box telling myself I was only going to eat one piece. After that I said boy that was good I'll just eat one more finally got ate a third piece then I put them in the refrigerator but they kept calling me because the refrigerator is way too close to my chair...God Bless Y'allJimmy in NC....

Baklava had good taste. The texture of the philo dough was right. The light honey was the right touch. It was a bit messy with extra honey pooling in the box.

FRESH AND DELICIOUS. IT COMES WITH 1 SMALL TURKISH COFFEE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
