During the Renaissance, spices were highly sought after for their ability to enhance flavor, preserve food, and their perceived medicinal properties. Limited supply due to their origin in distant lands, combined with the complex trade routes that involved multiple middlemen, inflated their prices significantly. Additionally, the demand from wealthy European elites, who used spices as status symbols, further drove up costs. The lucrative spice trade ultimately contributed to exploration and the establishment of new trade routes.
