Origins

A long journey

The birthplace of Clove is the northern archipelago of the Moluccas, Indonesia. We would have found its first trace 1700 BC on the site of Terqa (now Syria). Its cultivation then spread to China, part of Asia andAfrica. Pierre Poivre introduced it to Madagascar on Sainte Marie Island around 1830.

The origin of our cloves is located in the Vatovavy-Fitovinany region in Madagascar. The harvest takes place in October November. Just before the flowers open, the flower buds are picked in clusters. Dried in the sun, they harden and take on their characteristic colors: brown for the stem, copper for the flower bud.
