Description: It is an evergreen tree that grows up to 20 meters (65 feet) with dense foliage and small dull-yellow flowers. The fruit resembles a small peach and the oil is obtained from the kernel of the seeds. The oil is steam distilled from the worm-eaten nutmeg seed to obtain a sweet, warm-spicy essence with a terpene-like top note. Nutmeg oil from Sri Lanka and Indonesia is considered superior.
