Supreme Cloves 700g | Whole Dried Cloves for Cooking, Baking & Spice Blends

A single clove contains more flavour than almost any other spice by weight. That intensely warm, sweet, slightly peppery depth is what makes garam masala taste like garam masala, what gives biryani its complexity, and what fills the house with that unmistakable festive aroma when you drop a few into mulled wine or a baked ham. Cloves are not a spice you use by the handful — which is exactly why buying 700g makes such obvious sense. A standard supermarket jar holds around 25–30g and charges nearly the same price. This bag gives you years of cooking at a fraction of the cost per gram.

Supreme whole dried cloves are restaurant grade — carefully selected for their size, aroma, and essential oil content. Whole cloves preserve their potency far longer than pre-ground, releasing their flavour when you need it rather than slowly fading in a jar on a shelf.

Biryani & Rice Dishes: Add 3–4 whole cloves to hot oil or ghee at the start of cooking alongside other whole spices. They infuse the oil and rice with warmth throughout.

Garam Masala & Spice Blends: Grind whole cloves into homemade garam masala, curry powder, and spice mixes for far fresher, more intense flavour than pre-ground.

Mulled Wine & Festive Drinks: Drop a few whole cloves into mulled wine, chai, or spiced apple juice for that classic warming aroma.

Baked Ham: Stud the fat of a glazed ham with whole cloves before roasting — the classic Christmas centrepiece.

Festive Baking: Add ground cloves to gingerbread, mince pies, Christmas cake, and spiced biscuits.

Curries & Stews: Use whole in the tempering stage for background warmth and depth, or grind into spice pastes.

A note on quantity: Cloves are potent — a little goes a long way. Start with 2–3 whole cloves in a dish and adjust to taste.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Whole cloves retain their aroma and potency for 2–3 years when stored correctly.
