PEMBA CLOVES (ZNZPC)

Our cloves are grown, harvested and ground by our partner farmers on the small island of Pemba, which is famous for its cloves. They’re hand-picked at the last possible moment before flowering, ensuring the largest size and most mature flavor, and then dried in the tropical sun. They're bright pink when ripe, and they turn brown as they dry. They have a bright, sweet intensity with a rich warmth and a numbing menthol buzz. Add to braised meat or mulled wine, or use in all sorts baked goods, from cakes and pies to muffins and quick breads.
