Clove

Clove is a popular spice that comes from the flower buds of the clove tree. These dried buds are small and brown in colour, providing a potent and distinct flavour to dishes. Cloves are commonly used in both sweet and savoury dishes, adding a warm and aromatic taste.

To make clove spice, the flower buds of the clove tree are harvested and dried until they turn a deep brown colour. The drying process intensifies their flavour, making them perfect for use in cooking. Once dried, the cloves are often ground into a fine powder or used whole in recipes to add a burst of flavour.

Clove appears on food labels mainly for its rich and warm flavour profile. It is a versatile ingredient that can be found in a variety of dishes, including spiced desserts like apple pie or gingerbread, as well as in savoury dishes like curries and stews. Clove also contributes to the overall aroma and taste of certain spice blends, marinades, and sauces, enhancing the complexity of the dish.
