FAQ

The Baklava Box is a family-run business inspired by a love for traditional baklava. We aim to share the finest handmade baklava with others, blending cultural heritage with modern craftsmanship to deliver a premium dessert experience.

Baklava is a rich dessert made with sugar, butter, and nuts. While indulgent, it’s not typically classified as junk food but should be eaten in moderation due to its high sugar and fat content.

Baklava is usually a vegetarian dessert, as it contains no meat. However, traditional recipes use butter, so while it’s suitable for vegetarians, it is not vegan unless made with plant-based ingredients.

Vegan baklava is made with plant-based ingredients, such as vegetable ghee instead of butter. It uses layers of phyllo dough, nuts, and syrup, all crafted to meet vegan dietary standards.

Baklava contains nuts, which are nutritious, but it is also high in sugar and fat, making it a calorie-dense treat. While delicious, baklava is best enjoyed occasionally rather than as a regular part of your diet.

Baklava is typically served at room temperature or slightly warm. Some people prefer it gently heated to enjoy the flavours, while others enjoy it cold. It’s really up to personal preference.

Baklava is rich, sweet, and full of ingredients like butter and sugar, which may be heavy on the stomach. While delicious, it’s best to enjoy it in small portions to avoid any digestive discomfort.

Traditional baklava recipes do not use eggs. The layers are made from phyllo dough, nuts, butter, and syrup, so it’s typically an egg-free dessert, though variations may exist.

Baklava is a sweet dessert, known for its rich combination of flaky pastry, nuts, and syrup. It’s not savoury or spicy but rather a classic sweet treat enjoyed in many cultures.

Baklava is best eaten slowly, savouring the layers of crispy phyllo dough, sweet syrup, and crunchy nuts. Pair it with a hot drink like tea or coffee to improve the experience.

Our Baklava stays fresh up to 3 months without any added preservatives when stored in a cool, dry place. To maintain its crisp texture, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature rather than refrigerating it. Once opened then consume within 2-3 weeks.
