Native to tropical regions, Cloves are the unopened flower bud of an Evergreen Tree making it one of the "Flower Spices." Cloves have been used for centuries both in culinary applications and medicinal. Because of their numbing properties, dentists used them on patients before procedures. Thank goodness for modern medicine!

Cloves have a rich, exotic aroma and flavor. They're used widely in African and Asian cooking. Cloves can be found in mulling spices as well as pumpkin pie and apple pie blends. Along with pineapple, Cloves are the traditional way to stud a ham for sultry spiciness to accompany the sweetness of the pineapple.

Ellie ★★★★★

I’ve been adding these whole cloves to my chai and the floral, slightly sweet aroma is just right. They’re firm and unbroken, which I appreciate. Perfect for slow simmering in curries too.

Michael S. ★★★★★

The buds are surprisingly plump and aromatic—much more potent than the jar I bought last time. I like tossing a few into my chai while it steeps, and the flavor comes through beautifully.

Robert Z. ★★★★★

I’ve been using these whole cloves in my chai tea and the buds are so fresh and oily they release that warm, spicy flavor slowly with each steep. They’re noticeably firmer and more fragrant than the jar I bought at the grocery store. I’m already ordering a second bag.
