Burlap and Barrel Whole Stone Nutmeg

Whole Stone Nutmeg is warm, sweet, and deeply aromatic with a fragrance which unfolds as you grate it.  By grating your own whole nutmeg, you have the ability to control the intensity and capture the fresh fragrance at the moment you need it, whether for sweet or savory dishes.  This nutmeg from Zanzibar, Tanzania is hand-picked at peak ripeness from Mzee Sio’s orchard.  Nutmeg is the inner pit of a yellow stone fruit that splits open when ripe.  The seeds are then sun-dried to concentrate their aroma.  

Grate it directly into pasta sauces, cream sauces, and desserts using a nutmeg grater or fine zester.  It is a necessity in bechamel and custards, lovely in cakes and cookies.  Perfect shaved over vegetables or mashed potatoes.  Just a small amount brings depth without stealing the show.
