History of Clove
Known for studding orange peels in mulled wine, cloves are a popular culinary spice. Clove essential oil’s aroma is reminiscent of the scent you would find in your spice cabinet, but more potent. Though this spice makes a pronounced and exotic addition to many recipes, the essential oil’s aromatherapy uses are even more remarkable.
