Mahleb: flavouring profile
Mahleb is the ground kernel of a wild cherry, and it tastes the part: a bittersweet almond-and-cherry, marzipan-like note that flavours the sweet breads and biscuits of Greece and the Levant, so it is a dessert pairing, calling for a sweet wine that mirrors its nutty, cherried character.
