Midye Baklava – Mussel-Shaped Baklava | Antep Bazaar

Graceful in shape and rich in taste, Midye Baklava—named after its resemblance to a mussel shell—is one of the most elegant varieties of Turkish baklava. Handcrafted with layers of fine phyllo dough, each piece is shaped into a shell and filled with a generous portion of premium Antep pistachios. Once baked to a golden crisp, it is finished with a light syrup, creating a dessert that is both crunchy and delicately sweet.
The unique shell-like form makes Midye Baklava not only delicious but also visually striking, often chosen for special occasions, weddings, and festive gatherings. Its balanced flavor and beautiful presentation turn it into a centerpiece dessert that delights both the eye and the palate.
