We mix it in our manufactory in Klingenberg am Main. Despite the name, which means four spices, it holds nine warm ingredients: black pepper, cinnamon bark, mace, star anise, coriander seeds, cloves, cinnamon blossoms, allspice and galangal. Only this interplay makes the blend round and complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuatre Épices belongs in hearty, slow-braised dishes.
