The History of Zanzibar Spices

The story of Zanzibar spices dates back centuries, when Arab traders introduced cloves and other spices to the island. Over time, Zanzibar became a hub for the spice trade and an essential stop along the historic Spice Route. The influence of these spices extended beyond trading, shaping the island's culture, architecture, and cuisine.
