Where is your baklava made?
In a fully licensed commercial kitchen in Orange County, California.
How do I store baklava?
We suggest storing your baklava in a cool dry place in an airtight container and not in direct sunlight. You may also refrigerate or freeze your baklava. If you freeze your baklava, just let it thaw to room temperature and serve.
How long does baklava last?
1 month in a cool and dry place in an airtight container and not in direct sunlight; 2 months refrigerated; and 5 months frozen.
*If you leave your baklava out uncovered, don't worry, it will last at least 1 week so long as it's in a cool dry place and not left in direct sunlight.
What happens if I microwave my baklava?
Microwaving your baklava may dry it out. However, some of our customers like heating up their baklava in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and then placing a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or other flavor of ice cream on top in order to create an even tastier treat.
What are your ingredients?
Although our exact ingredients depend on the type of baklava you order, know this: WE ONLY USE THE MOST PREMIUM INGREDIENTS. This includes, California made fillo dough, California walnuts, Grade AA clarified butter, California cinnamon, and other spices.
After I order baklava online, when can I expect delivery?
We use UPS ground. From the time your order is processed, normal delivery may take up to 7 business days. For more detail, please review our shipping policy FAQs.
Is the baklava vegan?
While our baklava is vegetarian, because it contains butter and cream, it is not vegan.
How do you sweeten your baklava?
We don't use honey or corn syrup. Our baklava is sweetened using a special technique to make a sugar cane based syrup.
Recommend pairing baklava with . . . ?
Ice cream (especially vanilla bean ice cream), tea, coffee, and milk. You can also spread a layer of whipped cream cheese on top. Of course, the best thing to pair Bakluvit baklava with is more Bakluvit baklava.
Do you deliver?
For large orders, special occasions, and in some rare cases, we deliver straight to your doorstep if you are local. There may be additional charges dependent on the circumstances and your needs. Please contact us at orders@bakluvit.com for additional information.
Do you do catered events such as weddings, birthday parties, and other private events?
Definitely. Please contact us at events@bakluvit.com and tell us what your needs are. We would be more than happy to add some 'luv' to your special event to ensure that your guests have a bakluvable experience.
Do you custom cut your baklava?
Yes, please contact us. Additional fees may apply.
May I please have your family's recipe?
There are three generations of family baklava makers that I need to receive approval from. Two of them would require me to speak with a psychic, so it's a long shot at best.
