Whole Cloves come from a tree with the Latin botanical name of Syzygium aromaticum, where the flower buds are dried to produce this popular spice. The tree is native to India and Indonesia, but is also found in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Zanzibar and Madagascar. We offer this spice in powder and whole forms, as well as organic and kosher varieties. When you buy Cloves from Starwest Botanicals, you will notice that we directly source our dried spices and herbs from our producers worldwide, and then process them all in-house in order to bring you the finest quality dried herbs and spices available today.
