HISTORY FROM "GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

The most diverse spice, the allspice! It is a mixture of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon, something that is evident both in its aroma and in its spicy taste. Christopher Columbus is the one who recommended it to us. During his second trip to the New World, he encountered it on the island of Jamaica. He was impressed that he looked like a big pepper! Without hesitation, he put it on his luggage and brought it to the developed western world. From then on, and especially from the 16th century onwards, it was a leader in Mediterranean cuisine.

Even today, the main source of food for the world is the Caribbean and especially Jamaica. The usual tactic of its collection is to cut it before it fully matures. Then, it is spread in the sun, dried and is ready to give our dishes its special aroma.

In the Greek collective memory, it has been associated with political cuisine. The housewives of Smyrna - and not only - always threw it in their food and sauces. In this way, they ensured the special taste but also the easy digestion of their "admittedly" strong foods!
