In Turkey, they are introducing a standard for their national dessert - baklava. The authorities in our southern neighbor insist that the cake be produced only from quality products.
The Turkish Institute for Standardization - TSE, readily accepted the proposal to introduce a standard in baklava. According to them, criteria must be set for the production of sweet temptation, as many producers use non-original ingredients that spoil the taste of real Turkish baklava.
To reduce their costs, many retailers sell pastries that are far from the traditional Turkish dessert. Inspections have shown that customers are often deceived by counterfeit or counterfeit products that deviate from the original recipe.
In many outlets, the baklava offered contained peanuts instead of pistachios, vegetable or trans fats instead of butter, as well as sweeteners instead of white sugar.
However, the institute clarifies that the preparation of baklava has its own specifics in different regions of Turkey and some products are purposefully omitted, while others are added.
According to TSE, Turkish baklava should be golden yellow in color, the syrup should not be too thick or cause burning in the mouth when consumed.
The introduced standard will determine the obligatory products for the oriental dessert - flour, salt, water, a little fat, sugar and pistachios, and each piece of it must be at least 35 millimeters.
Baklava is considered the national dessert in Turkey, and until recently there were major disputes over its origins between Greece, Turkey and the Middle East.
Some time ago, a Turkish producer from Gaziantep became the first baklava trader to receive European Union trademark status.
In the battle for the nationality of baklava, the Turkish Institute of Norms still insists on the Turkish origin of the emblematic dessert, recalling that its name comes from the Old Turkish words baklava or baklava.
