Incorporate the bold, deeply aromatic power of premium Cloves into your product selections, an intensely flavorful spice known for its strong warming properties and sweet, pungent bite. Harvested as the immature, pink flower buds of the tropical tree Syzygium aromaticum, our cloves are carefully dried until they turn a rich, dark reddish-brown with a distinct nail-like structure. At Aba Impex, we select and supply premium whole cloves that feature plump heads and a high concentration of essential eugenol oil, which provides their characteristic numbing warmth and rich aroma. This potent spice is highly valued across both sweet and savory applications, adding a deep, complex warmth to holiday baked goods, aromatic spice blends like Garam Masala, and savory roasted meat glazes. Every shipment undergoes strict quality control to minimize headless cloves or woody stems, ensuring exceptional flavor purity and consistent performance.

Types

• Hand-Picked Premium Cloves (HPS): The highest grade of cloves, meticulously sorted to ensure plump, fully intact heads, uniform dark color, and zero debris.
• FAQ Commercial Cloves: Standard trade-quality whole cloves, offering excellent oil concentration and strong flavor, ideal for bulk industrial spice milling.
• Clove Stems: The woody stems separated from the flower buds, containing a lower but still valuable amount of eugenol oil, perfect for commercial oil extraction.
• Pure Ground Clove Powder: Milled from whole buds under temperature-controlled conditions to protect and preserve the delicate volatile oils from dissipating.
