Organic products are cultivated and harvested with particular care and are synonymous with the gentle use of the landscape and raw materials as well as the highest quality. The evergreen clove trees belong to the myrtle family and originate in Asia, on the Indonesian Moluccas. From there, the dried buds, the cloves, found their way to Europe in ancient times. In addition to their culinary uses, they were always considered to have healing powers. Their aroma can be described as intense, sweet and bitter. High-quality cloves release a little oil when they are scratched. In addition, they either float vertically in the water with their head up and stem down or sink to the bottom of the water – both a sign of quality.
