Palestinian pastry traditions are a masterclass in texture and aroma, defined by the generous use of orange blossom water, Nabulsi cheese, and crunchy pistachios. The undisputed crown jewel is knafeh, a warm, orange-hued masterpiece from Nablus featuring stretchy cheese sandwiched between layers of crispy shredded dough and soaked in sweet syrup.
