These Pemba cloves are packed with a punch. A deeply moreish, sensational and heavenly aroma, partnered with a bright tingly sweetness. And because Pemba cloves have a significantly higher percentage of essential oils than other varieties, these distinct characteristics are even more pronounced.

Judges Comments:
These large cloves have a strong aroma and intense taste. Great nose and the flavour carries through on the taste, with a gentle clove oil character.
Amazing spicy fresh aroma. The flavour in the mouth is very gentle, and the volatile oils coat the mouth to give a light numbness and freshness. These large cloves have a strong aroma and intense taste.
Further seasoning wisdom:
These famous cloves grow on the Pemba island in Zanzibar, Tanzania. They are hand-picked by farmers just before they are ready to flower. Picking the cloves at this late stage creates a deeper, more intense flavour. After picking they are sun-dried, changing their colour from pink to brown.
Sourced from a place famous for their cloves, their taste honours this distinction. They have a rich warmth, a tingly sweetness, a mentholy buzz and a brightness unlike regular cloves. Hints of pineapple also enliven the senses.
It's the perfect full-bodied addition to meats and roasted vegetables. They can also be ground onto desserts for an extra zing. If you like mulled wine, these are a must-have for any festive recipe.
