A fragrance of incomparable power, born in the Moluccas. The Whole Nutmeg from Place des Épices is an organic nutmeg, harvested by hand and then sun-dried for several weeks; its origins lie in that Indonesian archipelago, most likely on the island of Seram. Its powerful fragrance is why it features in so many quality spice blends. Grate it fresh into a béchamel, a gratin dauphinois, or a potato purée.
