Siau mace, derived from the reddish husks of nutmeg, is a spice of rare finesse. Hand-harvested on the island of Siau (Celebes archipelago, Indonesia) and dried for five days under the tropical sun, this mace offers a more subtle and refined aromatic intensity than nutmeg itself. Its warm notes, combining floral nuances and a hint of sweet pepper, make it an ingredient of choice for professional chefs. Carefully selected, this whole mace preserves its full aromatic bouquet until use. Professional culinary use: Mace is a versatile spice that allows you to work elegantly with textures and flavours: ► Savoury: Essential in milk and butter-based preparations (béchamel sauce, white sauces). It enhances egg-based dishes (soufflés, omelettes), vegetable gratins (cauliflower, spinach) and mashed potatoes. It also goes remarkably well with seafood (broths, shellfish stews). ► Sweet dishes: It adds a sophisticated dimension to honey-based desserts, poached fruit (pears), apple pies and gingerbread, pairing perfectly with vanilla and citrus fruits. Tips for use: ► Use: Can be used whole in infusions, or ground into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or blender for direct incorporation into your recipes. ► Storage: Can be stored for several years in a dry place away from light to maintain the integrity of its essential oils and aromatic intensity.
