Allspice, also called Jamaican pepper, myrtle pepper and newspice among other names is a spice native in Central America and Mexico. In reality, it is an unripe dried fruit. It is very similar to black pepper in appearance, only larger in size. Its fragrance has a vague resemblance to black pepper, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg combined, thus earning the name “allspice” it has been given.

It is very suitable in cookies, red tomato sauces, pot dishes, marinades and soups. However, to ensure the preservation of the flavour and the fragrance, it is best advised to grind the spice and add it just before the last stages of cooking.

The spice originates in Jamaica, which is the largest producer of the fruit. First arriving in Europe with Christopher Colombus, it was thought that the spice was the american black pepper.
