Whole Nutmeg Hydro-Distillation

Our nutmegs are hydro-distilled by PalaPala, a local essential oil distillery in Penang, Malaysia.

PalaPala is owned by Penangite, Ken Wong, whose artisanal skills include making natural soaps and incense sticks using only organically grown ingredients.

How Penang became famous for its Nutmegs

Nutmeg trees grow in the tropical regions and are especially suited for cultivation on the hilly terrains of Balik Pulau, Penang.

They were valuable commodities planted here by the British in the 1700s. in 1796, as many as 70,000 nutmeg plants were brought to Penang from the Moluccas. Nutmegs became a premier crop since then and till today, Penang is still renowned as the largest and highest quality nutmeg producers in Malaysia.

Green Acres Penang's nutmeg trees bear large palm-sized juicy nutmegs. Apart from its pure nutmeg essential oil, they are also artisanally hand made into teas, syrups, ciders, preserves, jams and spices.
