True baklava is not boring. The one you describe is boring because it has no finesse. I’ve had it in Greece, and I make it at home, it’s just a sugar fix. True baklava is an experience. Most baklava in Turkey is bad too. The one mentioned in the article is pretty good but the bests are the other ones in Gaziantep. Something about the combination of worlds best pistachios and grass fed clarified butter. It is sublime. Michelin star level shit. Worth flying to Gaziantep for. Too bad it’s the butt of the world. I order from here [0] when I’m in Turkey. I think it’s the brother or cousin of the guy mentioned in the article. They fly it out the day it’s made. I think they send to some European cities too. It loses its amazing smell after a couple days, though so tough luck for other parts of the world.
