Bold. Warm. Sweetly spicy. Cloves don't believe in background roles.
Whole cloves pack a surprising amount of flavor into one tiny bud. They're intensely aromatic, with deep warmth, subtle sweetness and a slightly peppery bite that can move easily between sweet and savory cooking.
Simmer them into chai, cider and mulled drinks, add them to curries, braises and rice dishes, or use them to infuse syrups, sauces and desserts. They pair beautifully with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, citrus and vanilla.
