Allspice (Pimento) Suppliers - Wholesale & Bulk

Jamaica and Guatemala account for the majority of European allspice supply. Find GFSI-certified wholesale allspice suppliers from both origins on Nutrada, filterable by eugenol content and MOQ.

Allspice Types and Forms

Allspice is traded in two primary forms, whole berries for aromatherapy and culinary applications, or ground powder for food manufacturing and spice blends.

Allspice Origin and Supply

Jamaica has been the dominant global source of allspice (Pimenta dioica) for centuries; however, U.S. spice imports from Jamaica dropped from $5.3 million in 2023 to $3.2 million in 2024 as buyers diversified to Central American origins. Jamaican producers maintain the strongest organic certification infrastructure, with 85% of farms holding EU Organic status. Guatemala is a growing allspice origin, with berries harvested from semi-wild trees in tropical lowland regions; the country also exports substantial quantities of cardamom, enabling shared logistics for spice buyers. Mexico produces allspice in Tabasco and Veracruz but is a minor supplier compared to Jamaica and Guatemala. Allspice falls under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for pesticide maximum residue levels applicable to all traded spices.

Bulk Allspice

Allspice loses volatile oils rapidly when exposed to light and heat, storage below 15 degrees Celsius preserves eugenol content above 75%. Whole berries arrive in 5-25kg woven polypropylene bags with moisture content below 10-12%. Buyers must confirm eugenol percentage on the Certificate of Analysis as this determines flavour intensity for jerk seasonings and commercial sauce formulations.

Organic Allspice

Jamaica and Guatemala hold EU Organic certification for allspice, with Jamaica offering deeper supply across both whole berries and ground powder. Mexican organic allspice is available in limited volumes. Dual EU Organic and USDA NOP certification is standard from Jamaican suppliers but less common from Central American origins.

Allspice Private Label

Consumer packaging includes glass spice jars (30-50g), kraft pouches (100-250g), and retail tins for gourmet applications. Minimum orders for private label allspice start at 500kg, notably higher than bulk purchasing minimums. Buyers must specify whether whole berries require pre-grinding or if they prefer consumer-facing whole berry presentation for gourmet positioning.

Cloves and nutmeg share blending applications with allspice across jerk seasonings and holiday spice mixes.

Allspice Manufacturers

European allspice processing concentrates in Germany and the Netherlands, where manufacturers handle grinding, blending, and sterilization for food industry clients. Request batch-specific Certificates of Analysis showing eugenol content, moisture percentage, and complete pesticide residue panels per lot.
