Clove

Cloves are one of the most valuable spices, derived from the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree. Known for their strong, aromatic fragrance and warm, spicy flavor, cloves are widely used in cooking, beverages, and Indonesia’s famous kretek cigarette industry.

Beyond their culinary role, cloves are rich in health benefits. Containing eugenol, they are believed to help relieve toothaches, aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the immune system. Cloves are also a key ingredient in traditional medicine as well as modern pharmaceutical products.

With their exotic aroma, distinctive flavor, and versatile benefits, cloves remain one of Indonesia’s leading spice commodities, highly sought after in international markets. They represent the heritage of the Indonesian spice trade, treasured for centuries around the world.
