Iranian Baklava is how the layers of flaky pastry are sweetened with a fragrant and buttery syrup of rose water and cardamom. What is also noteworthy to mention is that I find Iranian Baklava to be slightly less sweet and not syrupy, and therefore not as sticky!

Iranian Baklava can be made with pistachios, almonds, and walnuts. In addition to rose water, I have also made this baklava with orange blossom water which equally adds refreshing floral notes to this brilliant dessert.
