Pistachio cold baklava coated in smooth white chocolate.
Pure ghee. Stone-ground Gaziantep pistachios. A contemporary fusion dessert.
Cold Collection
This product begins as our Pistachio Cold Baklava — pistachio-filled, light, and silky — and then takes a step further into contemporary confectionery with a smooth white chocolate coating applied after chilling. The white chocolate sets firm in the refrigerator, creating a thin, snapping shell over the soft baklava beneath. The combination of white chocolate's creamy sweetness, the nuttiness of Gaziantep pistachios, and the lightness of the cold-prepared phyllo produces something that bridges tradition and modernity with genuine elegance.

What Sets It Apart
After the cold baklava is prepared and chilled, smooth white chocolate is applied as a thin outer coating. In the refrigerator, this sets into a firm, snapping shell — providing a new textural dimension that contrasts beautifully with the soft, yielding phyllo beneath. The moment of breaking through the chocolate is part of the experience.
The pairing of Gaziantep pistachio and white chocolate is a considered one: the nuttiness and gentle bitterness of the pistachio cut through the sweetness of white chocolate, while the chocolate amplifies the creaminess already present in the cold-prepared baklava. Together they create a flavour profile that is richer and more complex than either element alone.
The white chocolate coating gives this product an immediately visual, elegant appearance that makes it one of the most popular choices for gifting at Saytad. The contrast of white chocolate exterior and green pistachio detail is striking and immediately communicates the care that has gone into the product.
The Craft Behind It
Turkish pastry culture is deeply traditional, but it has never been closed to evolution. The introduction of white chocolate into the cold baklava tradition represents a contemporary development that respects the original — the baklava itself remains faithful to Gaziantep technique — while adding a new dimension that speaks to a broader, more internationally-influenced palette.
At Saytad, we begin with our standard cold baklava preparation: Gaziantep pistachios, pure ghee, paper-thin phyllo, and cold syrup application. After chilling, the pieces are coated in smooth white chocolate, which is allowed to set fully in the refrigerator before packaging. The result is a product with three distinct layers of experience: the snap of the chocolate shell, the softness of the cold phyllo, and the nuttiness of the pistachio filling.
This product has become one of the most requested at Saytad — particularly for gifting occasions. Its visual elegance, combined with the familiar-but-elevated flavour profile, makes it as appropriate for a first-time encounter with Turkish sweets as for a long-standing baklava enthusiast looking for something new.
