Baklava Gift Trays Are Great Gift Ideas

By Beryl Dalton


Gift giving has always been so sweet. It is a pleasant surprise receiving something from your loved ones. Tangible and intangible gifts equally give smiles to the recipients, but food is most especially very appealing. You can share it to anyone, especially to your family and friends, even to your giver.

One of the best things in life is to try some foods that you cannot ordinarily find in your refrigerator on a daily basis. Baklava is one of the most unique and exquisite delicacies you and your loved ones can experience a taste of in occasions or in ordinary days. The best baklava gift trays can be found in San Diego, California.

The sweetest baklavas can be found in San Diego, California. Although the pastry dish originated in the Middle East, particularly in Ottoman Empire, San Diego has variations to it that are most appealing to dessert and pastry lovers. They still adopt the traditional preparation and the ingredients which are phyllo dough, nuts, and honey or syrup, are just the same. They just added a few twists to make them even more appealing to the taste buds.

It is served in huge pans. The phyllo dough layers are separated using butter that is melted. Nuts are chopped and placed layer by layer on the phyllo dough. Traditionally, pistachio nuts are used but as time passed, they hazelnuts are also used.

In San Diego, California, there are already varieties of the pastry with different fillings. They still follow the traditional preparation, but they have added some twists into it to come up with new tastes. In Turkey, they authentically serve it with pistachios and kaymak. In San Diego, they also top it with raisins or blueberry then pour some syrup or melted chocolate over.
