Allspice Berries, Jamaican
Originally known as pimiento, and then Jamaica or Myrtle pepper, the taste of allspice is described by most as a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Originating in Jamaica, allspice is used often in Caribbean cooking and is a main ingredient in our Jamaican Jerk Seasoning. The allspice grown on the island of Jamaica is widely considered to be the best quality.

We carry whole berries (which if kept in an airtight container will remain fresh almost indefinitely) and freshly ground allspice. The whole berries are essential to pickling spice and mulled wine spice. Allspice is sometimes confused as a blend of spices, but it stands on its own.

Allspice berries originated in Jamaica. |
