Cloves – A spicy treasure of the tropics

Do you sometimes feel like your everyday life could use a touch of warmth and a little unexpected magic? The same old dishes, the same old scents – at some point, everything seems familiar, yet a bit empty. Perhaps you're looking for something to enliven your day with a deep, distinctive aroma, but finding something special can be arduous. Cloves could be just what you need to enrich your everyday life. Get to know this intense spice, which fascinates with its origins and distinctive profile.

The origin and variety of carnations

Cloves come from the flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), which originally grows on the Molucca Islands in Indonesia—also known as the "Spice Islands." Today, they are also cultivated in Madagascar, Zanzibar, and Sri Lanka. The buds are hand-picked before they open and then dried in the sun until they take on their characteristic brown color. Cloves have been a prized commodity for centuries—in ancient China, they were even used to freshen breath before addressing the emperor.
