shrimp, fish and coffee. It is a plant species that has a strong
taste and aroma and also serves as a flavour and food flavour
enhancer. Besides being used in cooking ingredients, spices
can also be used as medicine and raw materials of
herbal medicine.

 As one of the world’s spice producers, Indonesia has a
great opportunity as a supplier of the world’s spices to
contribute to the Indonesian economy. One effort that
can be made to improve the competitiveness and
promotion of selected commodity priority of selected
spices is to develop Geographical Indication (IG).
Geographical Indication is the name of the place or
designation used to identify commodities originating
from a specific geographic area, which has special
qualities, characteristics and reputations directly related
to its origin region, caused by natural factors and
traditional practices (EU-TCF,2016).

Indonesia is rich with spice diversity and has a wealth

of extraordinary spices. The number of spices and herbs
in Indonesia is estimated at least 7,000 species and most
of them have not been cultivated, only wild growing.
Some of the commodity spices that are traded in the
international market are pepper, nutmeg, vanilla,
cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and ginger.

NUTMEG
Nutmeg and Mace are both part of the same tree. This
evergreen tree, belonging to the Myristica family, grows up
to 60 feet tall and takes about seven years to bear fruit.
Nutmeg is the kernel of the apricot-like yellow fruit of the
nutmeg tree. A hard brown black shell normally covers this
kernel. Mace is a thin leathery tissue or arillus covering the
outside of the shell.

Nutmeg and Mace have similar sensory qualities, with

nutmeg having a slightly sweeter and mace a more delicate
flavour. Mace is often preferred in light dishes for the bright
orange, saffron-like hue it imparts. Nutmeg is used for
flavouring many dishes, and nowadays is mostly found in
Western supermarkets in ground or grated form.
NUTMEG
In traditional European cuisine, nutmeg and mace are used
especially in potato dishes and in processed meat products;
they are also used in soups, sauces, and baked goods. It is
also commonly used in rice pudding. While for Mediterranean
and Middle-East families, nutmeg is used as part of the stuffing
for many regional meat-filled dumplings as well as for the
traditional meatloaf.

In the Maluku Islands, nutmeg was cultivated by most of the

locals for centuries. As for plantation, there are 3 main islands
where this spice thrived: 1. Halmahera, 2. Ternate, and 3. Tidore.
These isles are only separated by 30 – 40 minutes by boat.
Maluku produces around 1000 tonnes of nutmeg per annum.
