The name literally means "four spices"; the spice mix contains ground [[black pepper|pepper]] (white, black, or both), [[cloves]], [[nutmeg]] and [[ginger]]. Some variations of the mix use [[allspice]] instead of pepper, or [[cinnamon]] in place of ginger.

In French cooking it is typically used in soups, stews, vegetable preparations and also in sausages and salamis.
