    Tips on buying quality mace

    Our recommendation is to to buy whole whenever possible. Powdered mace is often made using old and unsightly pieces of mace. Because mace is such a hard to naturally grow spice, and rarely looks good – most traders dare not to sell whole mace. Good quality mace come from from it’s ancient origin in Indonesia. Here, mace takes on a lovely orange colour, with only a few discoloured-pieces showing up in each crop. They are also highly concentrated in essential oils, hence the flavour is much stronger and highly distinctive. In case you’re unsure, please refer to our quality and grade standards here when buying good quality whole mace.
