Mahleb – Bulk Supply for Bakery, Confectionery & Food Industries
Product Overview
Mahleb (Prunus mahaleb), is an aromatic spice obtained from the seeds of the St. Lucie cherry. Valued for its sweet, nutty, and slightly bitter almond-cherry flavor, mahleb is a traditional ingredient in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Balkan cuisines, especially in bread, pastries, cookies, and confectionery. Rich in coumarin, essential oils, and antioxidants, mahleb not only enhances baked goods but also contributes to digestive and wellness benefits, making it popular in the food and nutraceutical industries.
At Tuna Sourcing, we supply premium mahleb seeds carefully harvested, cleaned, and processed under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Available in whole and ground forms, our mahleb serves the needs of bakeries, confectionery producers, and food manufacturers worldwide.
