La Perdicion

Origin : Italy

Ingredients : White Pepper, Nutmeg, Cloves, Cinnamon.

Although there is no certain information, it seems that this simple blend of aphrodisiac spices was imported from French Polynesia in 1880 when King Pomare V agreed to cede the kingdom of Tahiti to France, obtaining its protection. On that occasion, Pomare V, among other things, gave French Prime Minister Jules Ferry the original recipe for La Perdición, used by Polynesians in courtship rites. Brought home by Ferry, La Perdición was so successful that many French people forgot its origins, considering it a French spice blend. This blend has a warm and intense aroma, due primarily to cinnamon and cloves.

In the Kitchen : In French cuisine, this blend is used to flavor soups, ragouts, sausages, and pâtés, and is also excellent with pork, poultry, and mushrooms. It also flavors spiced sweet breads, puddings, biscuits, or the custard used in fruit tarts.
