Chaypareh

Chaypareh is a type of traditional Persian pastry. It is typically made from layers of thin dough, often resembling filo or phyllo, which are then baked until crisp. The pastry is then infused with a sweet syrup, usually flavored with rosewater or cardamom. Nuts, such as walnuts or pistachios, are commonly used as a filling or garnish, adding texture and a rich flavor.

The name "Chaypareh" itself suggests its association with tea. It is frequently enjoyed as a sweet accompaniment to a cup of Persian tea (chai), acting as a delightful treat to complement the beverage. The exact origins of Chaypareh are not definitively documented, but it is a common dessert found in various regions of Iran and is enjoyed during celebrations, holidays, or simply as an everyday indulgence. Its preparation can vary slightly from region to region, with subtle differences in the dough thickness, syrup ingredients, or nut choices. The delicate, crispy layers combined with the sweet, aromatic syrup and crunchy nuts make Chaypareh a popular and well-loved Persian sweet.
