The hero of many holiday favorites (think mulled wine, eggnog, pumpkin loaf, gingersnaps), cloves add a spicy sweetness that just can't be replicated. And just like unexpected houseguests, a little goes a long way. But we also love the wonderful warmth and character that this spice brings to braises, stews and traditional Indian dishes, such as garam masala. Our cloves are locally sourced from smallholder farmers, where they are hand-picked, brought to a processing center, washed, dried and sorted by hand.
Tip: Remove whole cloves before serving because even when cooked, they have a hard, woody texture.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
