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 & cookies. Net Wt. 0.5 oz (15 gr). Pacakaging may vary. Ground or whole depending on availability. Greek Spice Mahlepi Ground - Machleb Net Wt. 1/2 Oz
