Cafer Erol: Master of Turkish Artisan Confectionery Since 1807
Since 1807, Cafer Erol has been crafting exquisite Turkish sweets that honour the legacy of Ottoman patisserie. Among its crown jewels is baklava — the delicate, syrup-kissed pastry once reserved for sultans, now enjoyed by dessert lovers in London. Each golden layer reflects two centuries of artistry, perfected and shared through generations.
What Is Baklava?
Baklava is a rich, layered dessert made of whisper-thin filo pastry, finely chopped nuts, and a fragrant syrup. Its crisp top and tender heart make it one of the most beloved pastries in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Traditionally served on festive occasions, baklava carries both sweetness and symbolism — hospitality, abundance, and joy.
Cafer Erol’s Baklava Ingredients and Preparation
Cafer Erol’s artisans prepare baklava by hand, using only premium natural ingredients and traditional techniques passed down for more than two centuries.
-
Filo Pastry: Rolled paper-thin to create up to 40 airy layers.
-
Pistachios & Walnuts: Carefully roasted and ground for maximum aroma and crunch.
-
Pure Butter: Adds richness and enables the signature crisp finish.
-
Light Syrup: A balanced blend of sugar, water, and lemon — never overpowering.

Every tray is baked to golden perfection, then bathed in syrup while warm to seal in flavour and shine.
