History

Plant & perfume

Allspice or allspice (Pimenta dioca) originated in Jamaica but today it is produced in both South America and Asia.

Allspice is a tree belonging to the Myrtaceae family that can reach ten meters in height. Between July and August, beautiful clusters of white flowers appear giving way to a fruit the size of a pea. Like pepper, the green fruit is picked before maturity. Drying in the sun will give it its brown ocher color.

This spice is sometimes also called logwood. Indianwood is in fact a very close cousin of Pimenta dioca, Pimenta racemosa (P.Miller).

Origins

A long journey

It was Christopher Columbus, on his second voyage to America who arrived on Jamaican soil in 1494 who discovered this bay. It will take another twenty years for the spice to come to Europe, brought back by Hernan Cortés in 1519.

It was called "pepper" because of its resemblance to pepper and maybe for other profit reasons it was interesting to bring it from the new continent and sell it as expensive as pepper!
