Mahleb, or Mahlepi is an aromatic spice made of a black cherry tree species, native to Middle East, but currently growing in the Mediterranean. Mahlepi has an intense aroma, a taste that reminds bitter almonds, cherries and a hint of rose or vanilla, and a bitter aftertaste which changes when baked. With a distinctive rich fruity flavor it becomes subtle after baked, kind of like a mystery ingredient which does not dominate the resulting taste. It is used in the traditional New Year's pie, the "Vasilopita", the traditional sweet dessert "tsoureki" and other recipes for sweet cookies and pies. You can also use ground mahlepi in other culinary preparations like juices and smoothies, spice blends and seasonings, and especially dairy products, as mahleb goes very well with dairy.

Here's another one of those spices that makes you wonder how people got the idea to eat it. Mahlab is a powder made from the seeds of the St. Lucy's cherry, found in different parts of the Mediterranean, that requires drying and cracking open rock-hard cherry pits. But if you've ever had a dessert made with whole roasted cherries, where the pit imparts an inimitable depth of flavor, it's easy to see why people go through the trouble. When mahlab first hits your tongue it tastes a bit like cherries, a bit like roses, and a bit like almonds. There's a hint of vanilla and something quite floral. Its aftertaste, though, is quite bitter. When cooked, everything changes. It's fruity and rich, but subtle.
