Cloves come from a tree with the Latin botanical name of Syzygium aromaticum, where the flower buds are dried to produce this popular spice. The tree is native to India and Indonesia, but is also found in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Zanzibar and Madagascar. When you buy Cloves from Starwest Botanicals, you will notice that we directly source our dried spices and herbs from our producers worldwide, and then process them all in-house in order to bring you the finest quality dried herbs and spices available today.For many, some of our earliest childhood memories is crafting a pomander ball out of an orange, by sticking bulk Cloves into the orange's skin. The sweet and spicy smell helps us celebrate the winter holidays.
Utilized throughout the world's cuisines, this is one of the most commonly used spices. Cloves can be added to tea to liven it up, as well as heated fruit and wine punches that use cranberry for a flavor base.
