Hand Picked Cloves

Analgesics, anti-inflammatory and aseptic

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

features and properties: Cloves are the dried buds of the Syzygium aromaticum plant. In the hand picked version, each bud is chosen by hand at the perfect moment of ripeness, ensuring a browned color, pungent aroma, and concentrated essential oil, especially eugenol, the main component responsible for the beneficial properties and intensity of flavor. Their solid and intact structure makes them ideal for a consistent and long-lasting aromatic yield.

Besides culinary use, cloves are appreciated for their therapeutic properties. They are digestive, natural antiseptics, anti-inflammatory, and immune system stimulants. Used for centuries in traditional medicine, they help combat gum pain, intestinal disorders, infections, and colds. Their high content of antioxidants makes them a valuable ally in fighting oxidative stress and promoting overall well-being.

in the kitchen: With a strong, warm, and penetrating taste, cloves are a fundamental spice in many culinary traditions. Ideal for flavoring broths, stews, braised meats, marinades, spiced rice, vegetable casseroles, and Christmas desserts. Essential in mulled wine, herbal teas, and preserves, they can be used whole or ground. Their aroma spreads easily, so only a small amount is needed to transform the flavor of a dish.

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