Premium Whole Organic Cloves

Organic Whole Cloves smell simply amazing. Everyone has a smell memory attached to cloves – usually to do with baking or Christmas. We remember school Christmas services with cloves pushed into fresh oranges.

Cloves are actually buds of flowers from the Myrtaceae family which are native to Indonesia. Our cloves are dried using warm air with no other processing.

Cloves can be used for many different dishes, such as adding warmth to stews and curries, enhancing the flavor of baked goods like gingerbread and pumpkin pie, infusing spiced drinks like mulled wine and chai tea, and even bringing a rich, aromatic touch to marinades and roasted meats. You can use organic cloves for pilau rice too.

Family Tip:

  1. We often grab the jar of cloves simply to give it a good sniff, because these little buds smell so amazing and transport us to Christmas.
  2. A great way to serve them is in Moroccan tagine dishes where flavours like cinnamon can be twinned with apricot and chick peas to create a real taste sensation.
  3. You can also stud an orange with whole cloves to make a natural air freshener that fills your home with a cosy, festive scent.
  4. Another fun idea is to add a couple of cloves to your next batch of mulled wine or spiced cidre for that extra warm and comforting kick.
