Mace

Mace is the aril or outer covering of the nutmeg seed and is valued for its warm and sweet flavor. It has a similar taste profile to nutmeg but is more delicate and subtle. Mace is often used in both sweet and savory dishes, particularly in baking, desserts, and spice blends. It adds a warm and aromatic essence to custards, pies, and savory dishes like stews and sauces.
