Mace

“Mace Absolute” is a term that might not be immediately recognizable to many, but it plays a significant role in both the culinary and fragrance industries. Mace is a spice derived from the outer shell of the nutmeg seed, Myristica fragrans, a tropical evergreen tree. The absolute, however, refers to a highly concentrated, aromatic oil extract obtained from the mace spice. This process of extraction aims to capture the most potent essence of the spice, resulting in an oil that is rich in aroma and flavor, far surpassing the intensity of the dried spice itself.
