NUTMEG
NUTMEG (Myristica fragrans), an aromatic spice with warm, slightly sweet, and subtly woody notes, is ideal for desserts, pastries, sauces, stews, and artisanal dishes. Prized for its invigorating and fragrant properties, it adds depth and character to all your culinary creations. As a natural product, it guarantees carefully selected quality and authentic aromatic richness.
Our organic nutmeg is a spice derived from the nutmeg. It was originally cultivated in the Middle Ages in Arab countries, which at the time imported nutmeg trees from Indonesia. In the 15th century, Europeans began to take an interest in its flavor and started buying it directly from Asian merchants to obtain the spice at lower prices than those charged by Arab merchants.
Nutmeg is prized for its exceptional flavor :
- A spicy main flavor that pairs perfectly with neutral ingredients (potatoes, milk, etc.)
- It also adds a fruity, tangy note to sweet dishes (very useful in baking)
Did you know? If nutmeg didn't exist, the neighborhood of Manhattan New York City might be a Dutch neighborhood today. In fact, to maintain their monopoly on nutmeg in the 17th century, the Dutch ceded the small island of Manhattan to the Americans.
Second anecdote: Nutmeg is an ingredient in Coca-Cola.
