Terre Exotique Cloves 250g

Product Description

In the mouth, cloves have a biting and fresh attack with intoxicating minty flavors reminiscent of camphor and eucalyptus. The texture and warmth of cloves make them particularly suitable for infusions and cooking. However, be careful not to cook them for too long to avoid intensifying the flavors too much.

Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree, scientifically known as Syzygium aromaticum. This tropical tree belonging to the Myrtaceae family (like eucalyptus, myrtle, or manuka) originates from the Moluccas archipelago in Indonesia. The flowers are manually picked when the buds turn slightly red. Cloves are then sun-dried on mats and stirred to prevent fermentation before being calibrated and sorted by hand.

Clove helps maintain healthy digestion by contributing to digestive comfort. It is used to support digestion, appetite, and the sense of taste, without increasing problems for those who are sensitive to high levels of stomach acid.

Over the centuries, the clove tree was introduced to South America, Africa, India, and Asia. Cloves are believed to have been found on the floor of a burned kitchen at the Mesopotamian site of Terqa in Syria, dating back to 1700 BC. In the 3rd century BC, Chinese courtiers chewed cloves to freshen their breath before appearing before the emperor. Cloves were introduced to France in the 18th century by the French agronomist Pierre Poivre, who brought back a few plants from the Moluccas Islands, as the Dutch were trying to control the global clove trade.
