Organic cloves are a floral spice with remarkable aromatic power, rich in eugenol. Grown on small Indonesian farms where clove trees flourish alongside nutmeg and pepper trees, these flower buds are harvested by hand before they fully bloom, ensuring optimal concentration of essential oils. Long coveted during the great explorations of Magellan and later acclimatised to Mauritius by Pierre Poivre, cloves remain an essential pillar of hot and spicy spices today. Selected by Le Delas, they bring an intense and deep signature to your preparations. Aromatic Profile and Professional Use: ► Character: Pungent, warm and refreshing flavour, offering great aromatic depth. ► Recommendations for use: Use sparingly; its intensity can quickly dominate the other flavours in a recipe. Use whole to infuse liquids (broths, marinades) or ground for more direct integration. ► Culinary pairings: Perfect for white meats, seafood, vegetable broths, or to spice up vegetables. A must-have for end-of-year recipes, spiced mulled wine and gingerbread. Benefits and properties: ► Thanks to its high eugenol content, cloves are known for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. They are traditionally used for their soothing qualities, particularly for digestive problems or toothache. Location in store: Epicerie - Allée 01
