Origin and special features
“ A FRESH BOOST FROM WHOLE NUTS ”.
Whole nutmegs originate from the tropical regions of Asia, particularly the Indonesian Spice Islands. They are obtained from the dried seeds of the nutmeg tree and are traditionally harvested by hand. Unlike ground nutmeg, whole nutmegs stay fresh longer and only release their full aroma when grated – more intense, vibrant, and unmistakable.
Taste and aroma
Warm, spicy, slightly sweet, with a subtle woody sharpness. Freshly grated, the nuts develop a complex, rich aroma ranging from sweet to spicy notes.
Application
Ideal for sprinkling over sweet dishes like cakes, puddings, or desserts. Nutmeg also adds depth and warmth to potato dishes, sauces, or stews. Simply grate it directly over the finished dish to enjoy maximum intensity and freshness. Combined with cinnamon and cloves, it creates a particularly rich and full-bodied flavor profile.
Interesting facts
Freshly grated nutmeg is considered the gold standard in cooking, as it offers a significantly richer flavor profile than the ground variety. It is an indispensable ingredient in classic dishes worldwide, such as béchamel sauce and potato gratin.
