How can you know that Real Baklava is nothing like the "baklava-like product" you've bought in the past, and everything like what comes out of the kitchens of your Greek families and friends?  Well...you can't know it.  Yet.  But when you taste Real Baklava you will gain that knowledge.  In a big way.

You will see more than our pictures can show you.

You'll draw in the engaging scent of mild cinnamon, perfectly combined with the aroma of baked nuts, pure sugar-and-honey syrup, and the barest hint of lemon and orange essences.

Your teeth will break the paper-thin texture of baked, buttered fillo dough, to penetrate into layers and layers of fresh, delicious nuts.

And your tongue will dance with the sugar, honey, and spices of our all-natural syrup as it mixes with these exquisite textures, aromas, and flavors...until that second moment when the pure butter, and only pure butter, melts on your tongue...infusing you with the completion of the Real Baklava Experience.

How can you know that Real Baklava truly is "the real thing"?  Without a trace of corn syrup or breadcrumb fillers.  Brushed with 100% sweet cream butter instead of vegetable oil and "butter flavoring".  Served to you the way Yiayia and Papou always made it, better than any packaged product you've ever tasted?

Our loyal customers (one of whom we hope you'll soon be) do an excellent job of helping others begin their own Real Baklava experience.  Keep reading, and decide if you agree...

• "I hope my yiayia isn't rolling over as I say this but this...baklava is excellent!" - Demetrios, Boston MA

• "Growing up I never acquired a taste for Bak. Living in Chicago, there are numerous restaurants that offer Bak on their menu. I tried a piece and could not finish it after only a couple of bites. I have a number of Greek friends in my current life and have had a lot of home made Bak. I still was not able to even try it, based on past experience.
  
  This all changed when I had your Bak delivered to me. I had a sampling of several different varieties. I have to tell you, I wish your bakery was in my neighborhood. It would become a ritual for me to have Bak at home all the time. The Bak I tasted, after one bite, I had to finish the piece before I could quit. I was tempted to eat every piece I received. Of course, I had to save a taste for the Wife, who just loves Bak and always has. This was a mistake! Before I could stop her, she had eaten the remaining Bak.
  Your Bak was the best I have ever tasted. I am now spoiled and request that you open a bakery here, in the Chicago suburbs (like near where I live)." - Wayne, Illinois

• "Real Baklava is Boston's best kept secret. For a special celebration, a dinner party, a hostess gift, or for any gift, you can't go wrong with Real Baklava. The presentation is perfect, the price is right, and the taste is scrumptious. It's better than mama and yiayia used to make. A real winner." - Faye, Boston MA

• "Before this, I was never into Baklava. But the first time I tried Peasant Bakers' Baklava, I was hooked! The sweet, flaky pastry melted in my mouth... I brought some to a family party once and, from then on, I was in charge of bringing the Baklava. Now, if I could just stop eating it in the car on the way to the parties!" -Yvette, Medford MA

• Being half Greek myself, I assumed I should like baklava, but indeed I didn't. This was because every type I tried in the past was greasy or soggy. However, when I tried "Real Baklava" I was taken by surprise. It was light, flaky, and perfectly sweetened. I immediately ordered several boxes of the stuff (hoping to distribute them among my friends here in Kentucky), but many of the boxes suffered from "baklava loss" due to my dipping-in to their boxes because mine had run out by the second day...By the time my friends actually received their boxes of baklava, they were smaller than I originally intended (and had to be creatively repackaged). I would highly recommend this delicacy to anyone who has been "jaded" by baklava in the past. You will be "peasantly" surprised! -Lisa, Kentucky

• Wow. This baklava is incredible...better than the baklava I got in Greece! My boyfriend introduced me to Real Baklava about two years ago. I brought it to my family’s annual get-together and we couldn’t stop talking about it! I also brought it to the office for our holiday party and not only did everyone love it --people really appreciated that it was...fresh and delicious unlike the donuts and cookies we usually get. Thank you for making a great product! - Anna, Boston MA
