ALLSPICE

FORMAT: 120g Jar

DESCRIPTION: Whole allspice berries (Pimenta dioica), also known as allspice for their natural combination of aromas reminiscent of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. With a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor, they add depth and complexity to meats, stews, sauces, desserts, and marinades. Highly valued in Caribbean and gourmet cuisine for their aromatic versatility.

INGREDIENTS: Whole allspice (Pimenta dioica).

ORIGIN: Brazil and Netherlands

TASTING NOTES: Although it is a single berry, it is known as "four spices" because its flavor and aroma evoke a natural blend of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper. It is warm, sweet, and deeply fragrant, with a slightly spicy nuance.

USAGE: It is extremely versatile in both sweet and savory dishes. It is a key ingredient in Caribbean cuisine (such as jerk chicken) and European baking (cookies, sponges, and apple pies). It is also used to flavor pickles, meat stews, sauces, and is an essential element in the production of premium gins and mixed drinks. It is recommended to grind it just before use to release its full complexity.

STORAGE: Store in a dry, dark, and cool place.

ALLERGENS: May contain traces of Celery, Sesame, Gluten, and Mustard due to presence in facilities.
