With that said, let’s take a tour around the globe and explore the world’s best desserts!
Ramadan and Crispy, Sweet Baklava
Over one billion Muslims each year celebrate the occasion we all know as Ramadan. This holiday is the time to commemorate the event when Allah gave the first chapters of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad in 610 A.D.
Annually, Muslims fast, abstain from pleasures, and pray to deepen their relationship with God. This time holds cultural significance to Muslims, since it’s a time for the devotee to undergo personal and spiritual growth with Allah.
While abstaining during Ramadan is the norm, who’s stopping you from indulging in sweet delicacies or buying them as a gift once it’s over?
Baklava Pistachio is one of our prized desserts. With origins from the time of the Ottoman Empire, the crunchy and sweet baklava is a timeless pastry that continues to impress generations of Muslims.
The top and bottom layers are made of crispy phyllo dough, all drenched in sweet honey for an explosion of heavenly flavors after every bite. Fine pistachio nuts provide a nutty texture that you can enjoy without any guilt.
If you’re looking for the perfect Ramadan dessert, feast your eyes on our artisanal Tunisian baklava.
Eid al-Fitr and A Box of Tunisian Assortments
Also known as the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", Eid al-Fitr is a momentous three-day occasion that marks the end of the month-long fast during Ramadan.
During this ceremony, communal prayer (ṣalāt) is performed at the daybreak of the first day. Official receptions and friend and family gatherings also occur during this period, alongside gift-giving and visiting the graves of relatives who have passed.

Rosh Hashanah and a Box of Bite-Sized Treats
Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year, directly translates to “head of the year” and marks the beginning of the 10-day Days of Awe.
This is also the time when Jews from all around the world commemorate the world’s creation, ask for atonement, and remind themselves not to commit the same sins this year.
The observances of this Jewish holiday include special foods, visits to the synagogue, and giving back to people in need.
The typical food eaten during these celebrations includes fish, which symbolize fertility and abundance. Besides that, sweets like apples and honey are also delicious treats that are eaten during this time. Honey, in particular, symbolizes the hope of a sweet new year to come!
The desserts you can find in our Quarterly Box contain exceptional Tunisian treats that will spruce up your Rosh Hashanah festivities with an extra kick. Our food is generously drizzled with honey and topped with nuts, giving you that sweetness that you can’t find in any cake or creamy tart dish served in traditional food shops.
Give you and your loved ones a baked fruit treat assortment found in the dessert Quarterly Box to commemorate the Jewish New Year’!
Celebrate Christmas in the Mediterranean
An annual event that marks the birthday of Jesus Christ, Christmas is an annual festival that billions of people celebrate around the world.
Both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide commercial phenomenon, Christmas Day is a time of spiritual reflection and joyous family festivities.
Food during this holiday is dependent on the country where it’s celebrated. In America, baked glazed ham with brown sugar glaze is a food treat that takes its place as the dinner party’s centerpiece. In other Christian countries like the Philippines, roasted suckled pig is a common communal dish that commands attention at the dinner party.
But if you’re looking for the perfect wrap-up with a delicious dessert, we recommend the assortment you can find in our Escape Box.
