Clove Ground 1kg

Our Ground Cloves offer an intensely aromatic, warm, and sweetly pungent flavour that is both powerful and versatile. A little of this rich, brown spice goes a very long way in enhancing baked goods, curries, mulled drinks, and hearty winter dishes.
A pinch unlocks deep, warming flavours:

Iconic Baking: The defining warmth in gingerbread houses, speculaas biscuits, and spiced apple pies.

Warm Beverages: A vital ingredient in mulled wine, chai tea, and spiced cider.

Ham & Meat Glazes: Mix with brown sugar, orange juice, and mustard for a classic baked ham glaze.

Curry Powders & Spice Blends: An essential component in garam masala, baharat, and other complex spice mixes.

Poached Fruits: Add a tiny pinch to the syrup when poaching pears or figs for a warm, spiced note.

A Word of Caution: Ground cloves are extremely potent. Always use sparingly—start with ¼ teaspoon or less for a whole dish and adjust to taste. Too much can make a dish bitter.

How to Use: Add during cooking to allow its strong flavour to mellow and integrate with other ingredients. It is best used in combination with other spices.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its potent aroma and flavour.
