Product Overview

Brand: Güllüoğlu

Product Type: Çikolata Kaplı Fıstıklı Baklava (Chocolate-Covered Pistachio Baklava)

• This is a layered pastry made with phyllo dough, filled with a mixture of pistachios, nuts, and sweetened syrup, then coated in chocolate. Variations may include additional flavors like vanilla or cinnamon.

Key Characteristics

1. Ingredients (Typical for Güllüoğlu Baklava):

   • Phyllo dough (flaky layers)
   • Pistachios (often roasted and chopped)
   • Clarified butter (ghee) or vegetable oil
   • Sugar syrup (often with rose or orange flower water)
   • Chocolate coating (milk or dark chocolate, possibly with cocoa butter)
   • Possible additives: Emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin), preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate), or artificial flavors (varies by batch).

2. Nutritional Concerns (General Baklava Warnings):

   • High in Sugar: Baklava is calorie-dense due to sugar syrup and chocolate. A single serving (typically ~50g) may contain 200–300 kcal, with 15–25g of sugar. Overconsumption can contribute to weight gain, diabetes, or dental issues.
   • High in Fat: Contains saturated fats from butter/oil and chocolate. A serving may have 8–12g of fat, including 3–5g of saturated fat.
   • Choking Hazard: Large pieces of pistachios or phyllo layers can pose a risk for young children or elderly individuals.
   • Allergens: Contains tree nuts (pistachios) and dairy (if chocolate contains milk). Cross-contamination with other allergens (e.g., soy, gluten) may occur in processing facilities.
   • Preservatives: Some Turkish baklava products may contain sodium benzoate (E211) or potassium sorbate (E202) to extend shelf life. These are generally recognized as safe in moderation but may be avoided by those sensitive to additives.
   • Halal/Certification: Güllüoğlu products are typically Halal-certified, but always check the packaging for the latest certification status if dietary restrictions apply.
