Assorted Baklava

Also called Lebanese Baklava, it is a collection of around 20 sweet pastries that are made from dough filled with nuts such as pistachios, pine nuts, cashews, and walnuts.
Even though original Baklava is the first and most authentic piece among all assorted Baklava pastries, the collection includes many types with differing tastes and levels of sweetness.

Cheese and Cream (Kashta) Filled Sweets

These delicious sweets are made of a variety of dough filled with either sweet cheese or a special Lebanese cream called Kashta (Ashta, Qashta).
Some are made from pastry dough similar to that used in Baklava, while others are made of either cheese, pistachio, or almond dough.

Classification of Mediterranean sweets

Mediterranean and Middle Eastern sweets can be classified into three major categories, namely assorted Baklava, Middle Eastern cookies and cakes, and cream and cheese filled pastries

Serving Suggestions

Most Middle Eastern sweets are offered as a dessert.
Mamoul in particular is often offered with coffee or tea as it is lighter than baklava.
Knafeh, being the exception, is usually consumed as a breakfast. Because it is relatively very sweet and usually served as a large piece, it can solely constitute a full meal.

Gifting Mediterranean Sweets

Besides consuming Mediterranean sweets as a dessert at home or in restaurants, these sweets are the perfect gift on many occasions.

Holiday Gift

On holidays, in Lebanon and Middle Eastern countries, Arabic sweets are the natural gift. It is hardly possible for a holiday to pass and not to gift or to receive Middle Eastern sweets.
