Organic ground mace

Product description

Organic mace, the delicate aril surrounding the nutmeg seed, is processed for Biova in Sri Lanka into a finely ground, orange-coloured powder. Its warm, spicy and gently sweet aroma is ideal for professional kitchens, artisan producers and food manufacturing.

Careful drying and gentle grinding preserve the characteristic fragrance and flavour profile, so you receive consistent Biova quality with a uniform particle size. The fine texture allows precise dosing and even distribution in sauces, doughs and spice blends.

In day-to-day use, ground mace refines potato dishes, cream soups, light sauces, vegetable sautés as well as meat and fish dishes. Organic mace also adds subtle accents to baked goods, desserts and hot drinks and can be easily incorporated into bespoke seasoning recipes.

Origin

The nutmeg trees for this organic mace grow in Sri Lanka’s tropical climate with high humidity and nutrient-rich soils. These conditions promote a complex aroma profile with balanced spice and gentle sweetness.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

The nutmeg fruits are harvested as soon as they split open and the orange aril becomes visible. The aril is removed by hand, gently dried and then milled into a fine powder, tailored to the requirements of Biova foodservice and industrial packs.

Key features

Compared to nutmeg, mace is aromatically milder yet more complex, which makes it particularly attractive for delicate sauces, desserts and baked goods. The ground, orange-coloured form is easy to stir in and ensures an even seasoning in both liquid and solid preparations.

Origin and processing differences

Mace from Sri Lanka is known for its warm, gently sweet note and harmonious spice profile. Careful drying and a defined grind determine the fineness of the powder and the intensity of the aroma, enabling Biova to offer a stable, easily standardised flavour profile.

Taste & aroma

Ground mace smells warm, spicy and subtly sweet with fine resinous and slightly citrusy nuances. On the palate it shows a balanced interplay of spicy and gently nutty notes, rounder and less sharp than classic nutmeg.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning mashed potatoes, vegetable gratins and creamy soups in large-scale catering and artisan production.
• For light sauces, cream-based dishes, vegetable sautés and meat or fish marinades.
• In baked goods, desserts, rice pudding and hot drinks such as chai, spiced milk or winter punch.
