Export-grade whole clove buds and ground cloves with high eugenol content — for food manufacturers, beverage producers, and spice importers requiring authentic Indian clove character.
Cloves from India's Karnataka and Kerala growing regions are prized for their high volatile oil and eugenol content — typically 15–18% volatile oil versus 10–12% for some other origins. The distinctive dark brown, plump bud with a round head and intact stem is the mark of premium quality Indian cloves.
SV Botanica sources whole clove buds directly from Karnataka and Kerala estate networks, hand-sorted for size, colour uniformity, and volatile oil content. Ground cloves are milled from the same quality whole buds to preserve maximum flavour and eugenol content.
High eugenol content (75%+) makes Indian cloves the preferred choice for food manufacturers, beverage producers, and oleoresin manufacturers. Indian cloves command a premium for their consistent quality and high volatile oil content.
Sourced from Karnataka and Kerala — India's primary clove cultivation regions. Zanzibar origin also available on request. Volatile oil and eugenol test reports provided with commercial shipments.
We supply cloves to international food grade and export specifications. All grades are cleaned, hand-sorted, and tested for volatile oil and eugenol content.
