24K Mahleb Powder, 50g

Mahleb  (also known as Mahlab, Mahalepi, Mahlep and Mahalab or Mahaleb) is an  aromatic, regal spice that is processed from wild cherry stones. The  cherry (St. Lucie or Mahaleb) stones are dried and cracked, and the seed  (kernel) is extracted. The seed is chewy and soft and is ground into a  powder. The flavour is like a mix of cherry and bitter almond – almost  like a marzipan taste. Some say that they notice slight hints of floral  and vanilla. Once the powder is cooked into the recipe, it becomes rich,  fruity and subtle.  It can be used in smaller amounts to enhance the  flavour of traditional treats and sweets such as donuts, pastries, pies,  breads, spreads, cakes, buns, biscuits, and various other desserts.  Mahleb spice is a popular ingredient that has been used for centuries in  Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. It pairs well with dairy and  honey and is a great spice to experiment with when creating delicious  baked goods. This product originated in Turkey, is produced by 24K and  comes in 50 gram container. Remember, a little goes a long way when it  comes to Mahleb so use it sparingly.
