Allspice - Whole - 2oz

Whole allspice berries are used to infuse slow-cooked dishes with deep, layered warmth — released gradually as they steep into braises, marinades, and pickling brines. Their organic cultivation reflects Villa Jerada's commitment to sourcing spices grown with care. Whole berries retain their essential oils far longer than pre-ground, making them a better choice whenever time allows for slow cooking or infusing.

Flavor Profile

Sweetly pungent and aromatic — clove-forward with cinnamon and nutmeg undertones. More controlled and gradual in release than the ground form.

Recommended Uses

–      Add whole to braising liquid for lamb shoulder or short ribs

–      Use in Levantine-style pickling brines for turnips and cucumbers

–      Steep in marinades for grilled meats alongside bay and coriander

–      Include in spiced rice and pilaf preparations

–      Simmer in mulled drinks and spiced syrups

Cooking Tips

Remove whole berries before serving. Lightly crack them before adding to marinades to accelerate flavor release.
