Grown in regions like Sri Lanka and other Spice Islands, our premium cloves retain their potent clove oil thanks to careful handling and airtight packaging. Whole cloves preserve their natural oil and body, giving your food a rich and distinctive taste.


Whether steeped in hot beverages or used in small amounts to deepen a recipe, our current stock of whole cloves delivers great flavor, trusted by chefs and praised in verified purchase reviews.



Whole cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), an evergreen tree in the myrtle family. Recognized by their nail-like shape, they’re packed with clove essential oil, giving them a powerful aroma and bold flavor.

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.
