Cloves have held a special place in Asian culture for over two thousand years, lauded for both their healing properties and culinary allure, before gaining prominence in medieval Europe as a coveted spice alongside pepper.
In modern times, cloves are predominantly associated with the production of Indonesian cigarettes, comprising 95% of global consumption. The clove tree, known for its delicate nature and slow fruiting process, produces buds that are harvested before blooming and then dried to achieve their distinctive brown color.
