Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: The organic allspice berries are harvested from the allspice tree when they are fully ripe. The berries are small, round, and green when picked.
Drying: After harvesting, the 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.
And you have your Organic Whole Allspice!
