Lavash is the basis of Azerbaijan cuisine

Lavash is cut during many important events - in weddings, marriage ceremonies, and mourning rituals. Thus, the tradition of preparing and cutting lavash is the basis of Azerbaijan cuisine. In archaeological excavations carried out in the country’s territory, artefacts used for the preparation of lavash and belonging to the Bronze Age have been found. This shows that the method of preparing lavash has remained unchanged over the centuries. And this fact is the embodiment of the Azerbaijani people's commitment to their centuries-old tradition.
