Import Cloves — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Kenya

Cloves from Dhruv International Ltd. are whole dried flower buds of *Syzygium aromaticum* with a guaranteed minimum oil content of 16%, ensuring potent aroma and flavour for culinary and therapeutic use. The batch composition includes 4% stems, with a maximum moisture level capped at 10% to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage during transit. Supplied in bulk quantities, these cloves are sourced from Kenya and packaged for wholesale distribution.

The spice is typically hand-picked at peak maturity to retain its characteristic pungency and warm, sweet notes, with a standard brown colour and uniform size typical of East African origin. Industry-standard grading for whole cloves often assesses parameters like broken percentage, foreign matter and volatile oil, with premium batches meeting or exceeding 15% oil content. These cloves are suited for direct use in food processing or further processing into ground spice or essential oil.

Primary buyers include food manufacturers, spice blenders and herbal medicine producers, who value consistent quality and traceable sourcing. Sourcing terms such as FOB or CIF are commonly used for shipments from Mombasa, with packaging options including 25 kg or 50 kg jute bags. Buyers should confirm minimum order quantities and lead times directly with Dhruv International Ltd., as these can vary based on seasonality and stock levels.
