BASAK TOZ MAHLEP - BASAK GROUND MAHLEP IN EASY TO USE SPICE BOTTLE 75 G / 2.7 OZ
Ground Mahlep used in sahlep and pastries.
Mahleb is made from the seeds of the wild cherry tree and used almost exclusively in sweets. Its flavor has notes of bitter almond and cherry.
It is particularly popular in the Middle East and widely cultivated in Syria and Iran.
In Turkish and Greek cuisine it's used mainly in pastry and is thus considered an alternative to Chios mastic although the two spices are quite different in flavor.
This spice should be used sparingly as its flavor is quite intense. Try with fresh or stewed fruit.
Also known as Mahlab, Mahaleb, Mahlepi, Mahlebi. Mahleb is an ancient spice that is used principally in the Middle East, Greece and Turkey. The aroma is nutty with a hint of almond and cherry. It is used in breads and pastries. Also is an excellent flavoring for sweetmeats. Mahleb combines well with anise, cinnamon, cloves, nigella and nutmeg.
