Gipfelhirsch Allspice, whole

Allspice, also known as pimento or clove pepper, is a true flavor artist in the kitchen. Its aroma, reminiscent of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper, adds a distinctive spice to both sweet and savory dishes. These dried berries originally come from the Caribbean and remain an essential ingredient in many spice blends and recipes worldwide.

Allspice berries release their full flavor when freshly ground or coarsely crushed in a mortar. This versatile spice pairs perfectly with game, lamb, pot roast, and pickled vegetables, but it also enhances sweet dishes like compote, fruitcake, and Christmas cookies. In Caribbean cuisine, allspice is a must-have, adding aromatic depth to marinades and sauces that is unmatched.
