Why we picked it

It tastes best grated right over the plate: whole, nutmeg keeps its aromatic oils until the moment you grate it, and a small amount scents the whole dish.

About the product

Nutmeg is the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree (family Myristicaceae), a species native to Indonesia. It has a warm, sweet and pungent aroma, with woody and slightly citrusy notes. It is used in small amounts and gives off all its fragrance when freshly grated.

Taste and aroma

Tasting notes

Warm, sweet and pungent, with woody notes and a citrusy-floral thread.

How to use it

  • Grate a little nutmeg over white sauces (béchamel), mashed potatoes or vegetable gratins.
  • Add it to doughs and winter cakes, to cozonac (a traditional sweet yeast bread) or to puddings.
  • It suits dishes with spinach or cheese, and pasta fillings.
  • A pinch of nutmeg scents seasonal hot drinks and spice blends (garam masala, quatre-épices).

Storage

Keep whole nutmeg away from light and heat, in a closed jar. Whole, it keeps its aroma much longer than ground, so grate only as much as you need at the time.

Keep somewhere dry and dark. Whole spices (seeds, sticks) hold their aroma far longer than ground ones.
