Madagascar Cloves

Madagascar cloves have a strong, sweet-spicy aroma that releases quickly when heated. The flavor is sharp and warming, so whole cloves are best used in small amounts. They infuse liquids and dishes steadily, adding depth rather than bulk spice. Because their intensity builds over time, they’re usually removed before serving.
