Delightful baklava rolls, featuring layers of flaky phyllo dough generously filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with fragrant syrup, are a decadent treat. Proper storage is key to preserving their crisp texture and rich flavor.

Storage Time

Best enjoyed within 2-3 days at room temperature, up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Temperature

Store at cool room temperature (18-22°C) or refrigerated at 0-4°C.

Freezing

Yes, baklava rolls can be frozen to extend their shelf life. Wrap individual rolls tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 2-3 months for optimal quality. To thaw, remove from the freezer and let them come to room temperature on a wire rack for several hours. Avoid microwaving as it can make the phyllo soggy.

Signs of Spoilage

• Mold growth on the surface or in the syrup.
• A sour or fermented smell.
• The phyllo dough becoming excessively soggy or sticky, indicating moisture absorption.
