[ Myristica fragrans] Each nutmeg is harvested by hand, sun-dried, and packed at the source to lock in a rich, nutty aroma and warm, earthy flavour. This Banda heirloom is smooth, and subtly sweet with hints of clove and cinnamon. Ideal for grating fresh into savoury dishes like curry sauces, baking, spice blends, or warm drinks. The whole nutmeg in its shell, offers longer shelf life and a deeper, more intact flavour profile. Retaining the rich and sweet-earthy notes, it boasts an exceptional aroma when cracked and freshly ground. Perfect for chefs and spice enthusiasts, who want the ultimate freshness and fullest flavour. Our nutmeg trees grow in the volcanic soil of the Spice Islands, their fruit bursting with story, not just flavour. It’s the very spice that once changed the world, now offered with the transparency and fairness it always deserved. Our in-shell nutmeg is dried slowly, the traditional way, without machines or haste. Keeping the shell intact preserves nutmegs essential oils, and keeps its story fresh, from harvest to your kitchen. It’s a whole spice in every sense: whole in its flavour, and whole in its connection to place.
