Local Spicery, Cloves, All Natural, Whole Buds

Despite attempts at clove monopolies, by the 18th century cloves were grown in many places including Brazil, Tanzania, and Madagascar.  The whole Clove looks much like a nail, hence its French namesake, “clou” (nail).

Use in pastries, puddings, cooked fruits, and cakes, or sprinkle on oatmeal for a treat. Also yummy in stews and vegetables. Pairs well with nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger.
