Burlap & Barrel Pemba Cloves

Our Pemba Cloves are hand-picked by our partner farmers on the small island of Pemba, in the Zanzibar Archipelago, which is famous for its cloves. They have a bright, sweet intensity with a rich warmth and a numbing menthol buzz. They’re picked at the last possible moment before flowering, ensuring the largest size and most mature flavor. Bright pink when ripe, they turn brown as they dry in the tropical sun. Add whole to braised meats and mulled wine, or grind into desserts.
