Clove leaf oil

Clove leaf oil is a natural ingredient extracted from the leaves of the clove plant. These leaves are harvested and processed to obtain the aromatic oil, which is commonly used in cooking and baking for its distinct flavour and scent.

To make clove leaf oil, the leaves are collected and then steam distilled to extract the aromatic oil. This process involves heating the leaves with water, capturing the steam that is produced, and then condensing it back into a liquid form. The resulting oil is highly concentrated and carries the characteristic spicy and warm flavour of cloves.

Clove leaf oil is often added to food products for its unique taste and aroma. It is frequently used in spice blends, baked goods, and savoury dishes to add a rich and aromatic flavour. You may find it listed on food labels of items like mulled wine, pickles, curry powders, and certain desserts where its distinctive taste enhances the overall dish.
