PRODUCT FEATURES

Aromatic Description:  Spicy, warm, bitter and woody aroma

Clove oil is obtained by steam distillation from the aromatic unopened flower buds of the clove tree.

Clove buds got their name from the Latin term "clavus" meaning "nail", a reference to their distinctive shape. In the Spice Islands of Indonesia, which is considered the homeland of the clove tree, traditionally, when a child was born, the natives planted a clove tree, connecting the child's life to the tree's life cycle.

In China, historical records show that the use of cloves dates back to the Han dynasty of the early 2nd century BC, where it was chewed as a breath freshener as well as used in food and medicine. It is believed that cloves spread to Greece and Egypt from China, in the 1st century AD. Cloves reached India in the 2nd century AD, where it would play an important role in Ayurvedic medicine. Phoenician traders spread them throughout the Mediterranean over the next two centuries, and Jewish traders later spread them to Europe, where they were used as preservatives and garnishes.

The clove trade was under Chinese control between the 15th and 16th centuries, after which the Portuguese developed a monopoly that lasted for nearly a hundred years. The Dutch were the next country to dominate trade in the 17th and 18th centuries. The market value at that time was so high that in Britain, cloves were said to be worth their weight in gold. Later, French smugglers brought cloves from the East Indies to islands in the Indian Ocean and to the New World.
