Gipfelhirsch Allspice

Allspice, also known as clove pepper or allspice, is a true flavour artist in the kitchen. Its aroma, which is reminiscent of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper, lends both sweet and savoury dishes an unmistakable spiciness. These dried berries originally come from the Caribbean and are still an indispensable ingredient in many spice blends and recipes worldwide.

Allspice seeds develop their full flavour when they are freshly ground or coarsely crushed in a mortar. This versatile spice goes perfectly with game, lamb, sauerbraten and pickled vegetables, but also enhances sweet dishes such as stewed fruit, fruit cake and Christmas biscuits. Allspice is a must in Caribbean cuisine and lends marinades and sauces an unrivalled aromatic depth.
