Mahleb Powder – Prunus mahaleb

Cherry-almond aroma for exquisite baking.

Mahleb powder is a traditional aromatic spice made from the finely ground seeds of the wild cherry tree Prunus mahaleb. Valued for centuries in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and European cuisines, it brings a distinctive cherry-like fragrance with delicate bitter almond notes. Its warm, sweet aroma and pale golden color make it a beloved ingredient in festive breads, pastries, and refined desserts.

Commonly used in sweet breads, cakes, cookies, creams, and milk-based desserts, mahleb also pairs beautifully with cheese and select savory baked goods. The powder is hand-filled in small batches and packed in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and aroma. Traditionally enjoyed as part of culinary and herbal routines.
