Nutmeg Oil & Mace Oil

Two Oils from One Fruit: Get to Know Nutmeg Oil & Mace Oil

The nutmeg fruit is one of the most valuable spices from the Nusantara region. Interestingly, a single nutmeg fruit can produce two different essential oils—each with its own unique aroma and benefits, yet perfectly complementing each other. This makes nutmeg an extraordinary aromatic commodity in the global market.

Nutmeg Oil: Warm, Sweet, and Spicy

Nutmeg oil is extracted from the nutmeg seed. It has a warm, sweet, slightly spicy scent and is widely used across various sectors:

• Flavoring: adds depth of flavor to food and beverage products.

• Massage oil: provides warmth and relaxation.

• Aromatherapy: helps create a cozy and soothing atmosphere.

Its strong aromatic character makes it a favorite in the wellness and food & beverage industries.

Mace Oil: Light, Floral-Spicy

Mace oil is extracted from the aril (the red covering surrounding the nutmeg seed). Although it comes from the same fruit, its aroma is distinct:

• Lighter, floral-spicy, with subtle citrus notes.

• Ideal for fine fragrances, natural perfumes, and premium bakery products.

• Provides an uplifting effect, making it a natural mood booster.

Its delicate yet complex character makes mace oil highly sought after by perfumers and premium food industries.

Two Characters, One Nusantara Heritage

Nutmeg oil and mace oil are proof of Indonesia’s rich spice heritage, which is not only historical but also economically and creatively valuable. From the Maluku islands to the world, nutmeg oils continue to bring the aroma of Nusantara to global industries.
