Mace & Nutmeg — Premium Export from India

Origin: Kerala, India  ·  sales@orifields.com  ·  +91 97463 61801

Mace and Nutmeg are the twin spices derived from the Myristica fragrans tree — nutmeg is the inner dried seed while mace is the delicate aromatic red aril covering it. Both are intensely aromatic with distinct flavour profiles: nutmeg offers warm, sweet, woody-musky character while mace has a sharper, more peppery, intensely spicy note.

Kerala is India's primary nutmeg-producing state, with ideal tropical climate producing spices of exceptional quality. ORIFIELDS INTERNATIONAL sources premium mace and nutmeg from Kerala's established spice gardens, available individually or as combined supply, serving food processors, pharmaceutical companies, and perfume houses globally.
