Clove bud essential oil, certified organic
Description: Clove is derived from a slender evergreen tree that grows up to 12m. At the start of the rainy season, long buds appear. These change colour and are beaten from the tree and dried. These are the cloves sold commercially.
History: The word clove comes from the Latin word ‘clavus’, meaning nail, since the shaft and head of the clove bud resembles a nail. Cloves and nutmeg were among the most precious of items in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries when they were worth more than their weight in gold.
