Zanzibar Ground Cloves

Bembo Ground Cloves are a spice with an intense fragrance and a characteristic warm, spicy, and slightly pungent aroma. Sourced from Zanzibar, they are ground into a ready-to-use aromatic powder that is easy to measure and distribute evenly throughout your preparations.

Their bold flavor means that only small amounts are needed to give your recipes the signature scent of cloves.

How to use Ground Cloves

Ground cloves are particularly recommended when you want to incorporate the spice directly into a dough or preparation, without having to remove whole cloves after cooking.

They are ideal for desserts, cookies, cakes, creams, compotes, and stewed fruit, but can also be used in savory preparations, such as marinades, sauces, stews, and spiced dishes.

Thanks to the powdered form, the aroma spreads quickly and evenly: for this reason, it is advisable to use it in moderation, adding more to taste if necessary.

A spice for desserts and spiced recipes

The warm fragrance of cloves pairs particularly well with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and star anise.

It is a characteristic spice of numerous spiced pastry preparations and can be used for cookies, apple cakes, fruit desserts, and homemade spice blends.

For hot drinks and spice blends

Ground cloves can also be used to flavor hot drinks, infusions, and spiced preparations, or as an ingredient in spice blends for both sweet and savory cooking.

They are also present in numerous gastronomic traditions and famous international blends, where their intense aroma helps create complex and enveloping spice profiles.

Whole or ground?

The ground version is ideal when the spice needs to blend completely with the other ingredients and be distributed evenly throughout the preparation.

Whole cloves, on the other hand, are particularly suitable for slow cooking, infusions, and preparations where you wish to remove the spice before serving.

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

Packaged in the signature light-resistant, anti-oxidation Bembo jar with an airtight seal, designed to protect the spice's aroma and fragrance over time.
