AB6 Clove

AB6 Cloves are a lower-grade clove category consisting of a mix of broken cloves, immature buds, shriveled or blackened pieces, and clove heads without stems. Though not suitable for premium kretek cigarettes, AB6 cloves are widely used in the clove oil distillation industry, animal feed, fertilizer processing, and non-food applications due to their remaining oil content and affordability.
