Allspice

(Latin Name: Pimenta dioica)

Size: 4oz

Brief History & Origin

Allspice, sometimes called Jamaica pepper or pimenta, carries the warmth of ancient trade winds and the whispers of old-world kitchens.

Indigenous to the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of Mexico, Allspice was revered by the Taíno people long before European explorers ever tasted it.

Named "Allspice" because its flavor recalls a blend of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper, it soon became a treasured spice in both culinary and medicinal traditions. It was also used in sacred rituals, body embalming, and even as a protective charm.
