Description

Cloves are the dried flower buds of an evergreen tree native to Indonesia. Our Ground Cloves (Clavo Molido) are ground from these nail-shaped buds and impart an intense, warm flavor to both sweet and savory foods. In Mexican cuisine, ground cloves add rich spiciness to moles, meat filling for stuffed poblanos, and pipián, a pureed chile, nut and seed sauce for poultry and seafood. In sweet recipes, ground cloves bring a distinctive taste to capirotada, rice pudding, candied sweet potatoes and champurrado, the thick Mexican hot chocolate. For the past 30 years, El Guapo has provided ingredients to make delicious, authentic Mexican meals for your family.
