Serving Suggestions

Add to beef or rabbit stews for depth and warmth, traditionally combined with bay leaves and juniper for classic Portuguese flavor. Use in Indian curries and biryanis where cloves add aromatic complexity to rice dishes. Infuse in mulled wine, cider, or spiced tea for a cozy winter beverage, or stud into hams, roasts, and even oranges for both flavor and decorative effect. Perfect for preserves, jams, and compotes that need a sophisticated spiced undertone.

Pair with Ferbar Louro Folhas (Whole Bay Leaves) for authentic Portuguese stew seasoning, or combine with Camil Feijão Preto (Black Beans) for traditional Brazilian feijoada. Add to Do Vale Leite de Coco (Coconut Milk) based curries for aromatic richness.
