Whole Cloves are the dried flower buds from the Syzygium aromaticum tree. These small, nail-shaped spikes pack an intense flavor punch that is simultaneously sweet and spicy. They are known for their high concentration of clove essential oil (eugenol), which gives them their signature scent and natural preserving properties.
Cloves are a staple in winter baking and beverages. They are essential for mulling wine or cider, adding depth to gingerbread, and for studding hams during the festive season. Their numbing, soothing effect has also made them a traditional home remedy for toothaches and sore throats.
Don't limit them to sweets. In savory cooking, a few cloves add incredible depth to broths, curries, and rice dishes (like Pilau). They pair wonderfully with other warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and star anise. Remember to remove them before serving, as their flavor is very strong when bitten into!
