02 — OUR ORIGIN

Overview
Mace is the red aril surrounding the nutmeg seed. It carries a finer yet more complex aroma than the nutmeg seed itself.
It is dried slowly so the fibre flexibility and bright red colour are retained without reducing its essential-oil content.
Origin
Halmahera's main producing areas, harvested directly from mature, sustainably managed nutmeg trees.
