Gemalen piment Klasse A

Complex aroma reminiscent of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper

Piment Grade A, also known as Jamaican pepper or allspice, is an extraordinary spice with a complex and intoxicating aroma reminiscent of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper. This Grade A variety represents the highest expression of quality: each berry is selected when fully ripe and carefully processed to ensure an intense aroma, full flavour and high aromatic potency. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a refined and versatile spice, perfect for both sweet and savoury cuisine.

characteristics and properties: Grade A piment consists of whole, spherical, compact and uniform berries, dark brown in colour with a firm texture. Rich in essential oils such as eugenol, it is characterised by a balanced, pungent yet harmonious aroma that combines sweet and spicy notes. This selected grade ensures a greater yield when infused, even grinding and long-lasting freshness.

in the kitchen: Its complex aromatic profile makes it perfect for an endless variety of dishes: from marinades for red meat, braised dishes and ragù to spiced soups, Caribbean dishes and vegetable bakes. It is also ideal for pastry-making, enriching cakes, biscuits and spiced bread. It is a key ingredient in many traditional blends such as Jamaican jerk and mulled wine, and can also be used to flavour infusions, spiced teas and artisanal liqueurs.

how to use: Use whole for infusions or grind just before use to obtain maximum aroma. Add the berries during cooking in stews, broths or preserves, and remove them before serving. If using ground, add sparingly to balance the flavour. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place away from light.
