Badia Cloves Whole, 12 oz

Whole cloves are unopened flower buds — intensely warm, sweet, and slightly numbing on the tongue. They're the spice that defines Jamaican jerk, Indian biryani, and a proper holiday ham. This 12 oz size is for cooks who steep, braise, and infuse seriously.

Common Uses

Push into onions for biryani and pulao. Steep in milk for Indian chai and kheer. Simmer into Jamaican jerk marinades, oxtail stew, and rice and peas. Braise into Middle Eastern lamb, Persian fesenjan, and Caribbean ham glazes. Stud pork shoulder and citrus for slow roasts.

Cuisine Context

Cloves are essential in Indian masalas (garam, biryani, chai), Jamaican jerk seasoning, Middle Eastern baharat, and Levantine rice dishes. Whole cloves give controlled, steeped flavor — ground would overpower these dishes in seconds.

Pro Tip

Fish out whole cloves before serving stews and rice — biting into one is unforgettable in the wrong way. Count them in, count them out.
