Mehleb|Mehlebi - End Date 30.06.2024

Native to the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, Mahleb is a unique spice derived from the pits of wild cherries. Unlike the bright acidity of fresh cherries, Mehleb offers a complex aroma reminiscent of almonds, marzipan, and even a hint of rose. This subtle sweetness masks a  warmth with woody and floral notes that linger on the palate.

Traditionally used in breads, pastries, and desserts across cultures, Mahleb adds an intriguing layer of complexity to baking. Greek tsoureki, Armenian Easter bread, and Middle Eastern ma'amoul cookies rely on Mahleb for their distinctive character. 

Like most spices, Mehleb loses potency over time. Store it in an airtight container away from light and heat for maximum flavour. Consider grinding the whole kernels just before use for the ultimate freshness.
