Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: Allspice berries are harvested from the allspice tree when they are fully ripe. The berries are small, green, and unripe when picked.
Drying: After harvesting, the allspice berries are spread out in the sun or placed in drying facilities to remove the moisture. Drying helps preserve the berries and concentrates their flavors.
Curing: Once the berries are dried, they undergo a curing process. This step is crucial in developing the berries’ characteristic flavor and aroma. This fermentation process enhances the aromatic compounds and essential oils present in the berries.
Grinding: After curing, the dried allspice berries are ground into a powder and sieved to achieve a fine texture.
And you have your Ground Allspice!
