Whole cloves from Malwatte, packed in a flat printed sachet that holds 30g. Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of the clove tree, and whole cloves keep their strong, warm aroma longer than the ground spice.
Use them whole in slow cooked dishes, or grind a few as needed. Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC has exported since 1992 and processes and packs its spices in its own factories, which hold ISO 22000 certification.
In the pack
- 30g of whole cloves
- Flat printed sachet with a grey and dark brown label
The grey label prints the name in English, Sinhala and Tamil, the words "All Natural", the net weight and a reminder to use the contents within 60 days of opening.
In the kitchen
- Add two or three to rice, biryani and pilau
- Use whole in meat curries, stews and pickles
- Stud a baked ham or an onion for stock
- Grind fresh for cakes, puddings and spiced drinks
Storage
Keep the sachet tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. The label asks you to use the contents within 60 days of opening; tipping them into an airtight jar after opening helps.
Malwatte is the food brand of Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC of Colombo, a Sri Lankan grower, manufacturer and exporter of tea and spices.
