Grate with a microplane or grind in a spice grinder to add to baked goods, breakfast dishes, warm drinks and savory stews (nutmeg in braised meat is a classic flavor combo) to add an incredible fragrance and complexity.

SOURCING
Our Grenada Gold Nutmeg comes from Belmont Estate, a 17th-century working farm that serves as an agritourism destination an hour's drive from St. George, the capital of Grenada. The family farm grows many spices using organic practices, and they also run a bean-to-bar chocolate shop, goat dairy farm, petting zoo, café, craft market and restaurant that serves traditional Grenadian cuisine. Shadel's vision is to package local, homegrown spices to a wider market.
Our partnership with her has led to an increase in Belmont Estate's manufacturing, handling and processing techniques, as well as new opportunities for revenue streams in a Covid-impacted world. Shadel and her team have worked to plant more trees and develop the organic spice farm, and they have invested in training the harvesting team in regenerative farming, responsible harvesting and in ensuring the utmost care is taken in transporting, cleaning, drying and processing and storing of spices.
They believe the secret to a great product is their love and care for the land and investment in people’s skills. In addition to this wonderful nutmeg, Belmont Estate grows cacao, bay leaves, mace, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric and ginger.
