Zest alternative (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ivory

(Other definitions for ivory that I've seen before include "What may be carved" , "Substance in elephant tusks" , "Substance of elephant's tusk" , "Shade of white" , "Country on the Gulf of Guinea, a former French protectorate" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
