Cloves 50g

Our Whole Cloves are intensely aromatic flower buds, prized for their warm, sweet, and pungent flavour. Perfect for slow-infusing into dishes, drinks, and desserts, then removing before serving. A single clove can transform a pot of mulled wine, a ham glaze, or a pot of rice.
Unlock the potent power of this ancient spice:

Slow-Cooked Dishes: Add 2-3 cloves to braised meats, stews, and stocks for a warm, deep background note. Always remove before serving.

Ham Glazes & Roasts: Press whole cloves into a ham before baking in a classic criss-cross pattern for a iconic flavour and presentation.

Mulled Wine & Cider: An essential ingredient in warm winter drinks, where they slowly infuse their sweet warmth into the liquid.

Rice Pilafs & Biryanis: Add a few cloves to the cooking water for basmati rice to impart a subtle, aromatic complexity.

Pickling & Poaching: A key spice in pickling spice blends and for poaching fruits like pears and apples.

How to Use: Add whole cloves at the beginning of the cooking process to allow their flavour to fully infuse. Remember to remove them before serving, as they are too hard to eat. Use sparingly—often 2-3 cloves are enough for an entire dish.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain their potent fragrance for years.
