What Are Cloves?
Cloves are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, known for their strong, sweet aroma and intense flavor. They are widely used in culinary, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, with applications ranging from spice blends and baked goods to essential oils and traditional medicine.
At Mountaintop Worldwide Export Limited, we export premium-quality whole and ground cloves that meet strict export standards. Our cloves are sourced, processed, and packaged to preserve freshness, aroma, and oil content — ideal for wholesale buyers, retailers, and manufacturers across the globe.
