Blend for Greek Tsoureki (easter brioche)

A fragrant handcrafted blend created to give sweet breads and baked treats an irresistible aroma, rich flavor, and authentic traditional character. Featuring premium mahleb as its star ingredient, combined with ground cardamom, Greek Chios mastic, and finely grated orange, this blend creates a sophisticated and beautifully layered aromatic profile that transforms every dough into something truly special. Mahleb, derived from the seed of the wild cherry tree Cerasus mahaleb, is one of the most iconic spices of Eastern Mediterranean baking. Its flavor carries delicate notes of cherry, almond, rose, and vanilla, with subtle floral undertones and refined depth. Once baked, it develops a richer, fruitier, and almost regal character that enhances desserts without overpowering them. Cardamom adds warm exotic complexity, while authentic Chios mastic and dried orange peel complete the blend with fresh citrusy sweetness and elegant aroma. Perfect for: • Greek tsoureki and sweet breads • Vasilopita and festive cakes • Cookies and baked desserts • Cakes with nuts or dried fruits • Rice pudding and vanilla creams • Crème brûlée and dairy-based desserts • Cheesecake tarts and honey desserts This blend also pairs beautifully with recipes featuring honey, sesame, and olive oil, inspired by traditional Middle Eastern sweets. A premium aromatic blend that fills every bake with warmth, tradition, and the irresistible scent of freshly baked tsoureki.
