DNB Spices Ground Mahleb is one of the most special values of Turkish culinary culture, obtained from the inner pits of the St. Lucie cherry (mahaleb cherry). It has a unique, enchanting scent and a flavor profile that is slightly bitter yet sweet. Mahlep, the main source of that famous "fresh pastry" smell wafting from bakeries, adds both depth and a characteristic flavor to every dough it is added to.
Product Features: Our ground mahlep is prepared by grinding fresh seeds at their peak aromatic value. Its fine texture allows it to blend homogeneously into pastries. It is completely natural and contains no artificial essences or colorants.

How to Consume?
Bakery Products: Indispensable for "Kandil Simidi," savory buns, and cookies. It ensures the dough smells wonderful and achieves a melt-in-the-mouth consistency.
Bread Making: Adds a mystic aroma to homemade breads and sweet buns (especially Easter "churek").
Desserts: Used as a distinctive flavor note in some milk-based desserts and cakes.
Pro-Tip: Since the aroma is very intense, it is recommended to use the amount specified in recipes (usually 1-2 teaspoons for 1 kg of flour is sufficient).
Storage Suggestion: Since mahlep is obtained from an oily seed, its aroma can fade quickly and it is sensitive to moisture. To preserve its freshness and unique scent, it should be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dry place (preferably in the refrigerator).
