ENTIRE GIRFLE - ESPIG - 15X50G

Whole clove is one of the oldest spices in global trade, hand-picked before the floral bud blooms and then dried to concentrate its essential oil. This slow drying process preserves the eugenol responsible for its characteristic aromatic potency—a bold warmth, slightly astringent, with woody and peppery notes that hold up in both cooking and infusion.

In foodservice (CHR) kitchens, a few cloves inserted into a charred onion structure a brown stock or pot-au-feu broth; they are used in game marinades, pork braises, and Asian-inspired sweet-and-sour sauces. In professional pastry and bakery, clove enhances gingerbread, spiced crème brûlées, and citrus jams. In the dining room, it flavors mulled wine, punches, and homemade syrups without requiring grinding.
