Cloves, Ground (55 lb case)

Madagascar / Indonesia / India cloves, ground fresh. Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree: intensely aromatic, warm, and sweet with a numbing edge. Whole cloves stud hams, flavor brines, pickles, and mulled drinks; ground cloves go into baked goods, sausage, ketchup and barbecue sauce, and garam masala and pumpkin spice blends. Ground cloves deliver an intensely warm, sweet, and slightly pungent flavor that is essential in both sweet and savory applications, from baked goods and holiday spice blends to marinades, curries, and braised meats. Their rich aromatic profile makes them a staple ingredient in spice blends such as garam masala, pumpkin pie spice, and mulling spices. Bakeries, food manufacturers, spice blenders, and restaurant groups purchase ground cloves in bulk for consistent, ready-to-use incorporation into recipes.
