About the product

Ziółko Allspice is 100% dried allspice berries (Pimenta dioica) – a tree that grows only in the Western Hemisphere. Of Mexican origin. The English name Allspice refers to its complex aroma, in which connoisseurs detect notes of cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper – as if several other spices had been combined into one.

In everyday cooking, it is added to soups, sauces, meats (mutton, pork, veal, game), homemade sausages and bigos. Its versatility extends to baked goods: gingerbread, spiced cakes, compotes and mulled wine. It is also an ingredient in gingerbread spice mixes.
