The Fine Spice of Nutmeg

The aromatic secret of this "nut" is only revealed when you grate the nutmeg and the fine powder releases its extraordinary aroma: A warm and spicy scent, slightly bitter and at the same time sweet. Originally, the nutmeg tree comes from the Moluccas, an island group in Indonesia. Today, the plant is cultivated in Asia, Africa, South America, and on the Caribbean island of Grenada. The peach-like fruits of the nutmeg tree contain a seed inside, the nutmeg. Botanically, it is not classified as a nut, but as a seed.

Nutmeg is indispensable in Asian and Oriental cuisine. The spice is also at home in European cuisine. With its spicy and at the same time sweet notes, it goes wonderfully with savory dishes as well as with desserts. A pinch of nutmeg gives many potato and vegetable dishes that "certain something." Nutmeg is also a must in jam, compote, and fruit cakes. Whether hearty or sweet - with this spice, less is more! Its intense flavor can otherwise become too dominant. However, the aromas quickly dissipate - that's why you grate the desired amount of nutmeg only when needed and add the spice to the dish shortly before serving. With a nutmeg mill from Peugeot, you can work quickly, practically, and safely - without the risk to your fingers, as with an open grater.

The Peugeot Nutmeg Mill

Here's how it works: A metal claw presses the "nut" against the grinding mechanism. Through a rotating motion of the chamber, a sharp double blade grates the nutmeg into fine powder. The patented grinding mechanism of the nutmeg mill is made from wear-resistant material. A special finish protects it from corrosion and dulling.

The remaining nutmeg can conveniently remain in the mill, as the transparent storage chamber is aroma-sealed with a magnetic closure. Besides its function, we at Butch like the modern, stylish design of these nutmeg mills. You have the choice of high-quality stainless steel, beech wood, or acrylic for the material.
