Mahlepi (Mahleb in Arabic) is an unusual Greek spice with a distinctive, fruity taste. The finely ground mahlepi powder is made from the inner kernels of fruit pits of a native Persian cherry tree. For many Greeks, the sweet smell of mahlepi always suggests the aroma of freshly-baked tsoureki, a traditional sweet bread with mahlepi baked for Greek Easter.

Mahlepi is also used in holiday cakes and cookies. Net Wt. 0.5 oz (15 gr). Pacakaging may vary. Ground or whole depending on availability.
