The Rich History of Pakhlava

Pakhlava, the arch-pastry of Armenians and an inseparable part of every cake shop in Yerevan, signifies a cultural crossroad, being both historical and actual. It has thin layers of rich filo, filled with a nut mixture and drenched in honey syrup. It is much more than a sweet dish; it is an element of Armenian identity and cooking skills.
