BONCHE - Clove (30g)

The beneficial properties of cloves have been known to people since ancient times. It was used as a charm, as a spice and as a medicine. The carnation was considered a symbol of fidelity. It was grown in a small area, and it had an incredibly high value. Until its widespread distribution by European colonialists in Asia and Africa, where a favorable climate contributed to its reproduction, cloves were considered a spice of noble people and nobles. The precious carnation was not available to the common people for a long time. It was believed that a dish flavored with cloves is the privilege of the winners, because its aroma helps overcome shyness, protects against failure and ignites passion in the hearts of people. Fragrant sticks were part of incense, food seasonings and fragrant perfume oils.

The burning taste and tart strong aroma of cloves are valued in gastronomy. It is added to meat and fish dishes, fruit and vegetable marinades. With cloves, they prepare a delicious hot drink with wine, cinnamon, honey and lemon - mulled wine.
