MACE BLADES
£1.35
Pack Size: 15g
Mace Blades, also called Blades of Mace, are the lacy scarlet outer layer covering the Nutmeg. When the Nutmeg seed is harvested, the mace is peeled away, flattened and laid to dry out, turning it a golden yellow colour.
Mace and nutmeg are very similar in aroma and taste, but mace is much more refined. The aroma is rich, fresh and warm. The taste is warm and highly aromatic but more delicate in mace. Mace Blades can either be ground down into a delicate spice or used as a whole.
Thanks to the spice trade industry blades of mace are typically used in all cuisines around the globe. Much like nutmeg, mace blades are typically used in baked goods.
In British cuisine, ground mace is used in pork pies, haggis and other potted meats. In Indian cuisine, it is popular to add Ground Mace to garam masala spice. We recommend pairing it with berries and other stone fruit as it pairs perfectly. We recommend adding a teaspoon to a crumble.
