NY SPICE SHOP Mahlab Seed Whole – Raw Spice Mahlepi – Dried Mahlepi - Dry Mahlep Aromatic Traditional Spice for Pastry and Baking – 4 Ounce

high quality Mahlepi, very fresh!

My recipe says these seeds give the most flavor if they are ground immediately before using, and it's worth the effort to grind them for making Mahleb bread. That's essentially a sweet bread with this seed for a special taste treat.

it’s very good quality I use it on lots of my recipes

Mahleb arrived quickly and was very fresh with good aroma.4 It’s very hard to find the seeds in adequate amounts elsewhere.

These were super fresh and delicious in my recipe. It was nice to get this quantity because usually it's a tiny quantity and I have to buy two to make the Easter cookies.

Was very happy with my purchase. It made my Lebanese cookies taste excellent .

I was super disappointed when I opened this mahlab and popped one in my mouth to find it rancid, bitter and nothing like the floral nuanced spice I love. So much for buying on Amazon… I’ll wait to get it from the big city grocer!

Mahlab is an unusual spice and the best version comes from the Middle East - Syria, which is at war right now so getting a suitable substitute is tough. This spice dose a real good job. The only problem I had at first is adding or determining the correct amount to add. I had to add a "bit" more than I used to as this spice was a "tad" weaker that I was used to but once I got that, things went well.
