Brown and hard, dried in the sun, this clove flower bud is a spice with a pungent and warm flavor. For more than 2000 years, clove has been a spice used in Asia for its medicinal and culinary properties. It later arrived in Europe in the Middle Ages to become a commodity as famous as pepper.
Today, 95% of the world’s clove production is used to make Indonesian cigarettes. The clove tree is a fragile tree which only bears fruit after the eighth year of existence. It rarely reaches flowering because the flower buds are harvested before the petals appear. The crop is then dried until the nails turn brown.
