Add a fragrant, traditional twist to your baking with Bağdat Mahlab, a cherished spice made from the seeds of the St. Lucie cherry tree. Harvested from the tree’s ripe fruit, the seeds are sun-dried, ground, and sifted into a fine powder to deliver a distinctive aroma and flavor that’s both floral and nutty.

Used widely across Türkiye, Eastern Mediterranean, and European cuisines, mahlab is a secret ingredient in many classic baked goods—such as cookies, pastries, breads, buns, and holiday simits. Its pleasant, almond-cherry aroma enhances both sweet and savory doughs, and it's even valued for its aromatic and aphrodisiac qualities.
