Use whole cloves to infuse savory dishes, baked goods, and hot beverages. They’re great for stud hams, flavoring mulled wine, making clove tea, or adding depth to Indian cuisine. Pair them with star anise, cinnamon, and ginger for rich spice blends
Ground cloves are simply powdered clove buds, ideal for baking. Whole cloves have a longer shelf life and retain more clove oil. Use them whole for infusion or grind fresh for maximum taste.
Store in a cool, dark space in an airtight container. Properly stored, cloves whole can maintain great quality and aroma for up to 2–3 years.
Though similar in look, cloves have a sweeter, more aromatic profile than pepper or allspice. Their pungent nature means a little goes a long way in both savory foods and desserts.
