Mace (Javitri)
Common questions from importers about sourcing, quality, and exporting Mace (Javitri) from India.
-
How is the quality of Indian Mace (Javitri) graded?Mace is graded based on the percentage of "Whole Blades," color uniformity (bright orange-red), and volatile oil content (minimum 10%). Premium Kerala mace is hand-sorted to ensure no "broken" or "off-color" arils are included in the export batch.
-
Why is Kerala Mace world-renowned?Kerala’s tropical forest gardens produce mace with a high fat and aromatic oil profile. The "Flower Mace" from this region is prized by European fragrance houses and gourmet food manufacturers for its delicate, non-bitter warmth.
-
What is the difference between Nutmeg and Mace in culinary use?While both come from the same fruit, Mace is the outer covering and offers a more refined, floral, and pungent flavor than the nutmeg seed. It is preferred for "clear" sauces like Bechamel, savory pastries, and high-end charcuterie.
-
How is Mace protected during international transit?Mace is highly delicate; we use vacuum-sealed pouches or boxes with inner padding to prevent breakage. Our MOQ starts at 100kg, and we can provide combined shipments with nutmeg to optimize buyer logistics.
