Set sail for Sri Lanka with this duo from the nutmeg tree. The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, while the mace (or aril) is the lacy, reddish outer covering that surrounds the shell. Having both together allows you to explore the full aromatic spectrum of this tropical treasure.
Once the nutmeg is grated or the mace is finely chopped, these spices bring a warm, sophisticated depth to both savory dishes and refined drinks.
Pairings & Inspirations
Savory Classics: The essential finishing touch for potato purées, béchamel sauce, gratin dauphinois, and sautéed spinach.
Meats & Stuffing: Adds a subtle woody warmth to bolognese sauce, terrines, and poultry stuffings.
Beverages: Grate a hint over a glass of Port, eggnog, or sophisticated cocktails for an aromatic boost.
Baking: Enhances spice cakes, fruit tarts, and custards.
The Difference in Flavor
Nutmeg: Offers a deep, pungent, and slightly sweet warmth.
Mace: Provides a more delicate, floral, and citrus-like profile compared to the seed itself. Using them together creates a more complex and balanced seasoning.
INGREDIENTS : nutmeg and its mace.
