Pegasus Whole Cloves – 20g

Pegasus Whole Cloves – 20g are the dried unopened flower buds of the clove plant, known for their strong, concentrated aroma and penetrating flavour. The taste is warm, slightly sweet, and deeply spicy with a sharp, numbing intensity that develops gradually during cooking. When added whole to hot oil or liquid, they slowly release essential oils that infuse dishes with a rich, aromatic depth. Their firm, nail-like structure allows them to withstand long cooking times, making them ideal for slow-simmered recipes where steady flavour extraction is important. The aroma is bold and instantly recognisable, often used to build the backbone of spiced dishes across global cuisines.

Pegasus Whole Cloves – 20g fit naturally into everyday cooking where controlled spice infusion is needed. They are commonly used in curries where they are fried at the start to build a deep aromatic base, in rice dishes like pilau where they gently perfume the grains during steaming, and in slow-cooked stews where they add layered warmth without overpowering the sauce. They also work well in baking, especially fruit cakes and spiced puddings, where they contribute a rich, festive spice note that balances sweetness.
