Rhun ‘Sundried’ Nutmeg

Indonesia is the original home to the Nutmeg tree. Grown on the fertile soils of the tiny Siau Island where the volcanic ashes of Mount Karangetang ~ a highly active volcano that is constantly spewing hot lava ~ makes the soil so fertile that the indigenous farming community of the remote island sees it as a blessing in disguise to their nutmeg trees, despite the constant threat of a volcanic eruption that lingers on their daily lives. The terroir matters & this land & its volcanic soils is exactly where nutmeg trees have been growing since antiquity.
