About This Product
Kerala Whole Clove
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), known as Laung in India, is one of the most intensely aromatic spices on earth — its essential oil (15–20% of dry weight) is dominated by eugenol (70%+), which gives cloves their characteristic warm, medicinal-sweet aroma. India sources the finest cloves from Kerala and Karnataka, though Indonesia and Zanzibar are also major producers.
PAX Herbal supplies whole clove buds, clove stems and clove powder. Handpicked premium grade and machine-cleaned standard grade are both available. Eugenol content (70%+) and volatile oil percentage (15%+) are tested per batch by GC/MS. Both food-grade and pharmaceutical/essential oil grade material is supplied.
We supply to food manufacturers, dental preparation companies (eugenol has anesthetic properties), essential oil distillers, fragrance houses, cigarette manufacturers (kretek clove cigarettes) and Ayurvedic formulators across Europe, Indonesia, North America and the Middle East.
