Organic cloves from controlled organic cultivation in Sri Lanka with an intensely warm, spicy, slightly sweet aroma. The whole dried flower buds are particularly suitable for flavoring hot drinks, braised dishes, sauces, pastries, and compote.
After harvesting, the still-closed flower buds are carefully dried until they acquire their typical brown color and firm structure. Whole cloves preserve their essential oils particularly well and gradually release their powerful aroma into food and drinks while simmering.
Due to their intense potency, just a few cloves are enough. They can be easily removed after cooking, making them particularly suitable for dishes, drinks, and spice blends where the release of flavor needs to be controlled.
Origin
The cloves come from Sri Lanka. The tropical climate and fertile soil provide excellent conditions for growing clove trees and developing their characteristic aroma.
Cultivation / Production / Harvest
The clove trees are cultivated according to organic farming guidelines. The still-closed flower buds are harvested. They are then gently dried in the sun or in the air until they are firm, brown, and ready for storage.
Special Features
Whole cloves retain their aroma and essential oils longer than ground cloves. They can be simmered directly, crushed in a mortar before use, or freshly ground.
Taste & Smell
Cloves have a very intense, warm, and spicy fragrance with slightly sweet and ethereal notes. Their taste is powerful, aromatic, and slightly sharp. Due to their intensity, they should be used sparingly.
