<<3>> - Our Clove essential oil
<<4>> comes from the island of Madagascar -
<<7>> home to various plants and animals
<<9>> found nowhere else on earth.
<<11>> The island's tropical, humid climate
<<13>> is the perfect environment for clove trees to flourish.
<<17>> Originally from Southeast Asia,
<<19>> clove trees have been growing in Madagascar
<<21>> for over 200 years.
<<23>> Each tree can take up to three years to mature,
<<26>> but they can live to be more than 100 years old.
<<29>> The earliest recorded usage of clove
<<31>> dates back to ancient China and India.
<<34>> Today, it is more commonly known as a household spice
<<37>> that can be added to desserts and savoury food.
<<40>> Our Clove essential oil captures the warm
<<43>> and spicy characteristics of this popular spice.
<<46>> And it can also be enjoyed outside of the kitchen
<<49>> with its unique and powerful properties.
<<52>> The essential oil comes from the buds of the clove tree.
<<55>> Right before they blossom, the buds turn bright red,
<<58>> which means they're ready for harvest.
<<60>> After the buds are harvested, they're dried in the sun.
<<64>> The buds are then steam-distilled
<<65>> to produce the essential oil.
<<67>> Why not to experience the invigorating flavour
<<70>> and aromatic fragrance of Clove essential oil
