İzmester whole cloves, as a spice, cover the selected and dried flower buds of the clove tree. The cloves in our kitchen offer many possibilities for creating a unique taste in sweet and spicy dishes. We recommend it for steaks, cakes or red cabbage, as it lends a spicy taste and a delicate aroma to these dishes. A great addition to compotes and liqueurs. In addition, mulled beer and wine are the real things with cloves.

Cloves, used as a spice, are flower buds collected just before flowering and then dried, which belong to the spicy myrtle family. The shape of the buds resembles a nail, hence the name cloves.
Cloves are already mentioned in old Chinese books: it was used as a mouth freshener by the entire imperial court, and the emperor's subjects often held cloves in their mouths to make their breath fragrant.
It loves the tropical climate. Until the 18th century, it grew exclusively on a certain group of islands in India, where the death penalty awaited anyone who tried to smuggle the plant out.
How to use
Whole cloves are used in wines, liqueurs, as well as marinades and meat preparations. Americans put cloves in their fried ham. Germans use it as an addition to spiced bread.
İzmester cloves are an excellent flavouring for compotes, sauces, mushroom or fish marinades, and roasts. Together with onions and bay leaves, we recommend it with red cabbage. Ground cloves are an important ingredient in gingerbread and various other fragrant cakes.
