Clove

Discover the versatility of cloves

Cloves are a spice that brings your kitchen to life with its unique, slightly spicy flavor. These dried flower buds originally come from countries like Indonesia, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka, and are valued for their rich aroma and flavor profile.

Application in the kitchen

Cloves are perfect for flavoring compotes, wines, and liqueurs. They not only enrich your Christmas pastries and mulled wine but also pair excellently with aromatic pork and sauerkraut. Add them to pasta sauces or homemade pâtés for an extra flavor dimension. In Indonesia, they are even mixed with tobacco for cigarette production.

Outside the kitchen

Clove oil is often used in massages and relaxing baths due to its characteristic aroma. Additionally, an infusion of whole cloves can serve as an effective tonic with cleansing properties.

Storage advice

Store cloves in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to retain their full flavor and aroma.
