Whole Cloves 30 grams

Aromatic little grenades of flavour, whole cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree. Dark brown and sharply tapered, each clove packs a warm, sweet-spicy punch with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. Their intense, slightly numbing aroma makes them a staple in both sweet and savoury kitchens: stud a ham, simmer in mulled wine, steep in chai, or toss into pickles and curries for long, slow flavour release.

Usage tips

• Use whole cloves when you want gentle, prolonged infusion—remove before serving or tie them in cheesecloth or a spice bag.

• Grind just before using for maximum potency; ground cloves lose aroma quickly.

• A little goes a long way: start with 1–2 for soups or marinades, and 4–8 for larger braises or pots of mulled cider.

• Pairings: cinnamon, star anise, allspice, citrus peel, ginger, vanilla, pork, beef, apples, and pears.

Storage Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Whole cloves can stay flavourful for up to 2–3 years; when their scent fades, it’s time for fresh ones.

Fun fact Cloves were once worth their weight in gold and traded like treasure—use them liberally now, the pirates aren’t watching.

Ground Cloves 40 grams

A warm, aromatic powder made by finely grinding dried clove flower buds. Ground cloves deliver a bold, sweet-spicy flavour with notes of camphor, eucalyptus, and a hint of bitterness that brightens both sweet and savoury dishes. Just a little goes a long way—its concentrated profile is perfect for pumpkin pies, gingerbread, mulled cider, and spice rubs for pork or lamb. Use sparingly in baking, stews, marinades, and pickles, or combine with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice for a classic warm-spice blend.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container away from heat and light to preserve potency. For best flavour, replace within 6–12 months.

Fun fact: Cloves were once worth their weight in gold—so treat your jar like treasure, but don’t be shy to sprinkle!

• Pantry hacks: cleaning citrus-stained surfaces, brightening dull cookware, and removing mineral deposits.

Practical details

• Form: coarse-to-fine crystalline powder, easy to measure.

• Solubility: fast-dissolving in water; adjust quantity to taste.

• Shelf life: long-lasting when stored dry in a cool, airtight container; keep away from moisture to prevent clumping.

• Safety: food-safe in typical culinary amounts but highly tart — avoid direct skin contact with concentrated crystals and keep out of reach of children and pets.

Chinese Five Spice

A bright, aromatic blend that packs an unmistakable punch—Chinese Five Spice is the culinary passport to savoury-sweet-umami magic. Traditionally composed of star anise, Szechuan (or Sichuan) peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon (or cassia), and fennel seeds, this spice mix balances warm sweetness, liquorice-like floral notes, citrusy numbing heat, and a touch of peppery bite. The result is complex, fragrant, and irresistibly savoury.

Flavour profile:

• Star anise: sweet, liquorice-forward backbone

• Szechuan peppercorns: tingling, citrusy numbness

• Cloves: deep, aromatic warmth

• Cinnamon (cassia): sweet, woody spice

• Fennel seeds: bright, anise-like sweetness

Uses:

• Rub for roasted or grilled meats (pork belly, duck, chicken)

• Stirred into braises, stews, or slow-cooked beans

• Sprinkled on roasted vegetables or sweet potatoes

• Added to marinades, glazes, or barbecue sauces

• Mixed into baked goods (cookies, spiced breads) for an unexpected twist

• Infused into oil or used in pickling brines for complex depth

Storage: Keep in an airtight container away from heat and light. For peak flavour, use within 6 months of grinding.

China Star Anise 20 grams

Warm, sweet, and unmistakably liquorice-like with deep notes of anise, clove, and a hint of peppery warmth. China star anise (Illicium verum) offers an intense, sweet-spicy profile that mellows and deepens when toasted or simmered, making it a powerhouse in both savoury and sweet cooking.

Appearance Distinctive star-shaped pods, typically 6–8 pointed rays, each containing a glossy brown seed at the centre. Pods range from deep brown to reddish-brown and are usually dry and brittle, releasing their aroma when cracked or crushed.

Culinary Uses

• Braises & stews: Essential in Chinese five-spice blends and slow-cooked dishes like red-braised pork and beef stews—adds depth and a lingering sweet warmth.

• Soups & broths: Common in pho and aromatic broths to build complex, savoury layers.

• Marinades & rubs: Ground or lightly crushed for rubs on beef, pork, and duck to complement roasted, grilled, or smoked meats.

• Baked goods & desserts: Use sparingly in cookies, poached fruit, custards, and syrups to lend a subtle liquorice-sweet note.

• Tea & infusions: Brewed whole or crushed for spiced teas and mulled beverages.

• Toast briefly in a dry pan to unlock oils and intensify flavour before grinding or adding to recipes.

• Use whole pods in long-simmering dishes for gradual release; remove pods before serving (seeds are bitter if bitten directly).

• A little goes a long way: start with one pod for a pot of stew or 1/4–1/2 teaspoon ground for most recipes.

• Pair with cinnamon, cloves, Sichuan peppercorn, fennel, ginger, and star anise’s milder cousin, Chinese cinnamon (cassia).

Quality & Storage Choose whole pods that are firm, aromatic, and unbroken. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve potency. Ground star anise loses aroma quickly; grind only when needed.

Origin & Notes China star anise is harvested from small trees native to southern China and Vietnam. It’s distinct from the toxic Japanese anise (Illicium anisatum), so buy culinary-grade star anise labelled Illicium verum. Its bold, sweet-spicy character makes it a must-have for anyone serious about Asian, Middle Eastern, or spice-driven cooking.

They’re small (about the size of a pea), pale to vibrant green, and slightly ridged, with a firm, papery shell that releases its fragrant oil when cracked or lightly crushed.

Why you’ll love them

• Incredible versatility: Use whole for simmering in stocks, rice, chai, and stews, or toast and grind for baking, spice rubs, and marinades.

With a warm, slightly sweet flavour profile that hints of anise, fennel, and a touch of citrus, they brighten breads, braises, and pickles while lending a cosy, rustic backbone to both savoury and sweet dishes.

Flavour: Bold and aromatic with a peppery bite and sweet undertones. Allspice delivers a layered taste profile: cinnamon-like warmth, clove-like depth, and a faint nutmeg quality, finishing with a subtle resinous, piney note. It’s both sweet and savoury-friendly.

Uses:

• Whole: Steep in marinades, pickles, stocks, and brines to release aromatic oils slowly. Great in pickled vegetables, pot roasts, and Caribbean jerk blends.

• Ground: Perfect for baking (cakes, spice cookies, pumpkin pies), sausages, meat rubs, and stews. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way.
