The Wonders of Pimenta Dioica

Originating from the Caribbean, this shiny-leaved tree produces a spice that has a captivating blend of flavors reminiscent of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Known by many names such as Jamaica pepper and Pimento, this spice is the key ingredient in our Pimento Paradise Massage Oil.
