Cloves — Bold, Sweet & Unforgettable

One clove perfumes an entire pot. Rich, sweet, and intensely spiced — cloves appear in Christmas baking, Indian biryani, mulled wine, and Moroccan tagines. Unforgettable in every direction.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Cloves are the most intense spice in this collection — one can perfume an entire dish. Rich, sweet, and deeply warming, they appear wherever comfort and depth are needed: Christmas baking, Indian biryani, Indonesian rendang, Moroccan tagines, mulled wine, and more. They cross cultures effortlessly because what they offer is universal — a sweet-spiced warmth that feels ancient and grounding.

The flavour is bold, sweet, and slightly astringent, with a numbing warmth from eugenol — the compound also responsible for their distinctive medicinal aroma. Whole cloves are for slow cooking and infusing; ground cloves are for baking and spice blends. Use with a restrained hand. A little delivers a lot.

HOW TO USE

• Stud into a baked ham with brown sugar glaze — the classic pairing.

• Add 2–3 whole cloves to mulled wine, cider, and spiced tea.

• Use ground in spice cakes, gingerbread, apple pie, and Christmas cookies.

• Add to biryani, Indian rice dishes, and slow-braised meat.

• Include in spice rubs for slow-cooked pork and lamb.
