Nutmeg

Spices & seasonings

Nutmeg offers a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet flavour. It's often freshly grated to add depth to savoury dishes like potato gratin, creamed spinach, or béchamel sauce. It also features in some sweet dishes and baked goods. Its intense flavour should be used sparingly.

Nutmeg is frequently used in creamy sauces, soups, and casseroles, often alongside salt, pepper, butter, and onions. It complements potato dishes and vegetables like spinach or mushrooms, as seen in potato soups or mushroom cream sauces. It also appears in meat dishes like meatloaf or pasta sauces such as Classic Lasagne Bolognese.
