The Spice Route.
The role of spices in world history wasn't just a question of taste; their influence on the social, economic and political development of humanity was considerable. The most ancient civilisations appreciated spices for their flavour and medical properties, and already at this time, their rarity made them objects of value.

The wealthiest were ready to pay a high price to obtain exotic spices ... and the most intrepid adventurers set off in search of them hoping to find their fortune... from Alexander the Great to Marco Polo, Christopher Colombus and others, the mystical Spice Route began to take shape and a huge adventure began.

To help bring you a step closer to your dreams of the East, La Boussole (the compass) will lead you down the Spice Route. Savour it!
