The official definition for spices is as follows: "Parts of certain plants which are processed no more than is technically necessary and which add flavour to food thanks to their natural content of taste and aromatic substances and which are suitable as spicy ingredients which provide taste." Connoisseurs say spices ensure the fine tuning of the taste during the cooking process. Bonifaz cheese is an excellent example of spices providing taste in cheese.
