Wild Cloves (Cengkeh Hutan)

Wild Cloves, or Cengkeh Hutan, are cloves that grow naturally in unmanaged or semi-wild environments such as forests or abandoned plantations. These cloves are typically not cultivated intensively like commercial varieties, resulting in less uniformity in shape, size, and color. However, wild cloves can still contain a moderate to high amount of essential oil and are often valued for traditional medicine, oil extraction, or non-premium industrial uses.

Cengkeh Hutan are usually harvested manually by local foragers and are less processed than commercial grades.
