NAME:

In search of products from the orient

About 550 years ago, several products taken from the Indies (in Asia) to Europe were very expensive and marketed only by Arabs and Italians, as access by land was blocked by the Empire Ottoman. Among these valuable products stood out spices, which are seasonings, food condiments extracted from plants. Spices were very important for food preservation.

The Portuguese and the Spanish were also interested in participating in this profitable trade, but they needed to have direct access to such products. Therefore, they started the process of great navigations, launching themselves in unknown seas with the objective of finding a sea route to the Indies.
