Import Cloves — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in India

Cloves from Antony And Yadavs Agro & Rice Mills are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, harvested before full bloom to preserve their potent flavour and aroma. The whole buds retain their characteristic nail shape, with a bulbous tip rich in eugenol, the compound responsible for their warm, pungent taste and medicinal properties. This supplier provides the spice in its unground form, ensuring maximum retention of volatile oils and freshness.

The cloves are sourced from tropical evergreen trees native to Indonesia but widely cultivated in India, where climate and soil conditions support high eugenol content. Typical industry standards for whole cloves include a moisture content below 12 percent and a volatile oil content of 15 to 20 percent, which are critical for maintaining shelf life and potency. The buds are hand-picked and sun-dried, a standard practice that minimises damage and preserves colour and aroma.

Whole cloves are primarily used in culinary applications, food processing, and traditional medicine, with demand strongest from importers in the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Buyers often seek consistent sizing, low foreign matter, and uniform colour, which are key quality indicators. For bulk shipments, verification of drying methods, storage conditions, and moisture levels is essential to prevent mould or loss of potency during transit.

Antony And Yadavs Agro & Rice Mills is based in India and operates within the agro and spices sector, specialising in the supply of dried spices including cloves. The company’s profile indicates a focus on sourcing and processing agricultural products for wholesale export markets.

While the supplier’s trust tier is classified as harbor, no additional verification signals such as response rate or average response time are currently available.
