Cloves – Madagascar
Cloves are an important culinary spice. They also have medicinal uses.
Cloves are the unopened pink flower buds of the evergreen clove tree. The buds are picked by hand when they are pink and dried until they turn brown in color. Cloves are about 1/2-inch long and 1/4-inch in diameter and with their tapered stem, they resemble tiny nails. In fact, their English name is actually derived from the Latin word clavus, which means nail.
Although cloves have a very hard exterior, their flesh features an oily compound that is essential to their nutritional and flavor profile. Cloves have a warm, sweet and aromatic taste that evokes the sultry tropical climates where they are grown.
The clove is one of the most popular spices worldwide. Clove growing and harvesting are labor intensive.
Pricing is crucially important with cloves. Madagascar has competitive clove prices.
We intend to also diversify into clove oil production.
