Cloves have a strong, sweet, flowery scent, with a hint of pepper and warmth.
They are used in both sweet and savory dishes. Among the most well-known dishes are some fruit desserts, especially apple ones, pandolci and panpepati, biscuits, creams and fillings, liqueurs and flavored wines.
In savoury dishes, they accompany game marinades, roasts, broths and sometimes aged cheeses.
