🌸 Habash Ground Mahleb 2 oz

Elevate your baked goods and confections with Habash Ground Mahleb 2 oz—a fragrant spice made from the kernels of wild cherry pits, prized across Middle Eastern cuisine for its subtle cherry-almond aroma. Ground mahleb is often used in pastries, breads, cookies, and festive desserts, lending a warm, nutty, and slightly floral note that’s unmistakably traditional.

Because mahleb is potent, a little goes a long way. Its gentle nuance pairs beautifully with sweet doughs like maamoul, semolina cakes, and festive cookies. Unlike more pungent spices, it doesn’t overpower; rather, it enriches the aroma and complexity of your creations.

This 2 oz (approximately 57 g) jar provides home bakers and dessert makers with enough spice to experiment with season after season. Whether you’re making Ramadan sweets, wedding cookies, or special holiday treats, Habash Ground Mahleb brings elegance and heritage to your kitchen.

👉 Bundle / Pairing Suggestion: Pair this mahleb with semolina flour, date paste, rose water, and powdered sugar in a “Heritage Baking Bundle.” It’s a perfect upsell for tradition-based baking projects and seasonal gifts.
