[Syzygium aromaticum]Our whole cloves are wonderfully fragrant, prized for their bold flavour and heady warmth. Pungent and sweet with notes of pepper, camphor, and a hint of fruitiness. Perfect for spice blends, baking, mulled drinks, savoury broths, and infusions. Hand-picked and sun-dried to preserve essential oils and potency. Our cloves are still harvested the old way by hand, one bud at a time, from trees that have stood for decades. They are sun-dried, under the Maluku sky, to preserve essential oils and their full aromatic power and flavour. These are the same cloves that once shaped empires, now grown by families whose livelihoods are directly sustained through ethical trade.
