Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), an evergreen tree native to the Moluccas. The flower buds are harvested before they fully open and then dried. This drying process gives them their characteristic dark color and intensely aromatic scent.
The spice is characterized by its strong flavor and warm, spicy aroma. These properties are primarily due to the presence of essential oils, of which eugenol is the most important component. Eugenol largely determines the scent and flavor profile of cloves and contributes to the stability of the product.
