Zanzibar Clove

Zanzibar Cloves are renowned for their high oil content, strong aroma, and uniform appearance. Originally associated with the island of Zanzibar (Tanzania), the term “Zanzibar” in Indonesia often refers to premium-grade Indonesian cloves that meet international standards for spice trade. These cloves are widely used in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, essential oil extraction, and aromatic products.

Zanzibar cloves are characterized by their plump buds, reddish-brown color, and a high concentration of eugenol oil, which gives them their intense aroma and flavor.
