Hand-picked buds with a bold, warm and penetrating flavour

Hand Picked Cloves represent the excellence of spices, picked by hand one by one to ensure their integrity, freshness and full, long-lasting aroma. This careful selection guarantees a product of the highest quality, with an intense fragrance and compact structure, ideal for those who want to enhance their culinary preparations with a rich, spicy and unmistakable touch.

characteristics and properties: Cloves are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum plant. In the hand-picked version, each bud is selected by hand at the perfect stage of ripeness, ensuring a deep brown colour, pungent aroma and concentrated essential oil, particularly eugenol, which is responsible for the intensity of the flavour. Their solid, intact structure makes them ideal for consistent and long-lasting aromatic performance.

in the kitchen: With a bold, warm and penetrating flavour, cloves are an essential spice in many culinary traditions. Ideal for flavouring broths, stews, braised meats, marinades, spiced rice, vegetable flans and Christmas desserts. Essential in mulled wine, herbal teas and preserves, they can be used whole or ground. Their fragrance spreads easily, so only a small quantity is needed to transform the flavour of a dish.

directions for use: Add whole during cooking and remove before serving, or use in an infusion to flavour liquids, herbal teas or hot drinks. If ground, use sparingly to maintain the aromatic balance. Store in a cool, dry place, in an airtight container and away from direct light to preserve their aroma and properties.
