Zanzibar Whole Cloves - 45 g

Whole Cloves from Zanzibar

Bembo Cloves are whole dried flower buds with an intense fragrance and a characteristic warm, spicy, and slightly pungent aroma. Originating from Zanzibar, this spice has a strong personality and should be used in small quantities to enrich both sweet and savory dishes.

Their name derives from the distinctive shape of the dried bud, which resembles a small nail.

How to use Cloves in the kitchen

Whole cloves gradually release their aroma during cooking and can be easily removed before serving.

They are ideal for flavoring stews, braised meats, roasts, broths, and marinades, as well as desserts, cookies, stewed fruit, and spiced preparations.

A traditional use involves inserting a few cloves into an onion when preparing broths and slow-cooked dishes, so as to gradually diffuse their scent.

Cloves for Mulled Wine and hot drinks

Together with cinnamon, star anise, and citrus peels, cloves are among the most characteristic spices in mulled wine and winter spiced drinks.

They can also be used to flavor tea, infusions, punch, hot cider, and other wine or fruit-based preparations.

A spice used all over the world

Cloves are present in numerous culinary traditions. They are found in European and Asian cuisines and are part of famous spice blends such as Garam Masala.

Their particularly intense aroma allows you to add character to a dish using only a few pieces.

Whole to preserve aroma and scent

The whole form allows for a longer preservation of the spice's characteristic aromatic profile and offers the possibility of using the cloves directly or grinding them fresh according to the recipe.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from light and heat sources.

Packaged in the characteristic light-proof and anti-oxidation Bembo jar with an airtight seal, designed to protect the aroma and fragrance of the spices over time.
