Description

Pimento oils (allspice oil) are derived from pimento fruits and leaves. Pimento berry oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried, fully grown, unripe, berrylike fruits of the pimento shrub, Pimenta dioica (L.) Merr. (Myrtaceae), growing in the islands of the West Indies and Central America. The main producer of the oils is Jamaica. Pimento berry oil is a pale yellow to brown liquid with a spicy odor, reminiscent of eugenol.
