Turkish Baklava Origin and History
We may never know exactly the baklava history or where or how baklava became the most famous Turkish sweets in the world, but we do know that the delicious dessert remains popular all over the world.
Modern baklava has been invented in Turkey during the Ottoman Empire, then modified in Syria. Many Meditteranean countries have their own versions of baklava, slightly tweaking the recipe to make it unique.
Is Baklava an Aphrodisiac
There was a special reason for baklava being a favorite among the wealthy families and the Ottoman Sultans. Pistachio and honey were the two prime elements and when consumed regularly they were believed to be aphrodisiacs. Cloves of two spices, cinnamon for females and cardamom for males, were added to increase the aphrodisiac effect of the pastry.
According to a belief, Gaziantep was the first city to introduce baklava in Anatolia. Gaziantep's version is famous for the simple fact that the pistachios grown there are really tasty. The nuts used in Turkey for baklava show variations depending on the geographical locations. In Southeast Anatolia, baklava is made with pistachio nuts, in the Black Sea region and Istanbul with hazelnut, in central Anatolia with walnut, and on the Aegean shores with almond.
