C love (lat. dianthus) is the fruit of the clove tree (fragrant syzygium) - an evergreen tropical plant of the myrtle family. The clove got its name from the unusual shape of dried unopened flowers in the form of cloves. Clove buds are harvested by hand, then dried until they turn brown and used in various industries.

HISTORY

The Moluccas in eastern Indonesia are considered to be the birthplace of cloves, which were taken over by the Portuguese in 1512 and became the monopoly owners of the plantations of this spice. Over 2000 BC from Indonesia, cloves were brought to China during the Han Dynasty, where people held clove buds in their mouths to improve their breath during an audience with the emperor. Also, Chinese practitioners of traditional medicine already then used cloves as a homeopathic remedy for relieving toothache. In Europe clove oil protected Europeans from the bubonic plague, and in ancient Persia it was used as a love potion. Even in ancient times, it was believed that clove oil strengthens the aura of a person, contributes to the formation of his personality. With its help, they also scared away vampires, fought envy and anger. Today, Indonesia provides 73% of the world's cloves production, and cloves are also grown in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, South India, Indo-China, Tanzania, Kenya, and Jamaica.
