Organic whole cloves from Tanzania

Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of the clove tree, a spice with an immediately recognisable warm, sweet, woody and slightly peppery scent. Our organically grown whole cloves come from Tanzania.

Cloves are an essential component of many fragrant mixtures, including Indian curries and masala chai, North African spice blends, gingerbread and mulled wine spices. Their aroma is powerful, so a few buds go a long way.

Cooking and infusions

Add a few whole cloves to stews, rice, broths, poached fruit or simmering drinks, remembering to remove them before serving. They can also perfume tea, herbal infusions, syrups and festive baking. For stronger flavour, grind or lightly crush just before use.

History and storage

The clove tree is native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, and its aromatic buds have travelled through global spice trade routes for centuries. Store the buds whole in an airtight container, protected from moisture and heat. Use only normal culinary amounts: concentrated clove oil is not equivalent to the spice and can be harmful if misused.
