Enveloped in fresh cream and garnished with a touch of sugar, that’s just enough to remove any bitterness, but not enough to make the fragrance sweet. Fragrant nutmeg is the star here, but balanced to be wearable. At Demeter, we follow interesting experiments in food, because taste and smell are so intertwined. One successful area of food experimentation concerns savory and spicy ice creams. This is our olfactory version of this trend. So while this approach might be modern, the spice is not. Nutmeg has been prized for its medicinal properties, and as a spice since at least the first century. Nutmeg is native to the banda islands of Indonesia, and was brought to Europe in the middle ages by the Arabs through the venetians.
