Quatre Epices Ingredients' Benefits

    Also known as Jamaica Pepper or Pimento, it is native to Jamaica and was documented by Christopher Columbus after his second voyage to the ‘New World’. Europeans named it for its familiar flavour, reminiscent of several spices. High in Vitamin C, it is beneficial for gut health.

    Nutmeg and mace come from the same tree. Cultivated for over 1,000 years, it boasts powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. The island of Grenada features nutmeg on its flag because it is its main export, although Indonesia is the largest producer.

This wonderful 17th-century blend originates from the beautiful French port of St. Malo, a historical walled city where food, history, and passion converge. Dubbed the true pearl of Brittany, St. Malo saw extraordinary changes in European dining habits during this period, influenced by Arab and Persian culinary traditions. Quatre Épices, an enticing French blend, adds distinct depth to popular dishes. Commonly used in French-inspired stews, soups, pâté, and charcuterie, it’s also perfect for baking cakes and biscuits. Its influence can also be found in Middle Eastern cooking, possibly due to France’s colonial presence in Lebanon, Morocco, and Algeria.
