SHORT DESCRIPTION

Cloves are the flower buds of the clove tree. They are picked and dried shortly before they bloom. During the drying process, the red flower buds turn into the typical brown clove color. Cloves taste fiery and have a strong flavor, especially ground cloves, which must be used very sparingly. The typical clove aroma only develops when heated.

USE

Cloves are used in all countries of the world and in all cuisines. Cloves are also used in spice pickles for meat and game and in spicy marinades for fish, for example for pickled herring. Ground cloves, i.e. clove powder, are used in mulled wine, in almost all Christmas biscuits (such as speculaas and gingerbread) and in spiced biscuits.
Clove powder flavors meat and fish steaks, game stews and other meat stews, blood sausages and bratwurst, and dark sauces.

GOOD TO KNOW
Whole cloves can be cooked or steeped in sauerkraut, boiled fish stock, roast game, sauerbraten, roast rabbit and large roast pork. The clove flavor is indispensable in sweet fruit soups, compotes, plum jam and apple puree.
