Cloves have a place in far more than sweet recipes. They are used to season meats, curries and marinades across several culinary traditions, making whole cloves a useful addition to a well-stocked spice pantry.
Whole Cloves for Fruit RecipesWhole cloves can also be used with fruit, including apples, pears and rhubarb. This savory-and-sweet versatility makes them useful for cooks who want one traditional spice that can move between different types of recipes.
Bulk Whole Cloves for Restaurants, Food Trucks & BBQ KitchensThe 1-pound resealable bag provides a bulk foodservice spice option for commercial kitchens and frequent users. It is a practical choice for restaurants, food trucks, BBQ restaurants, caterers and small BBQ vendors that regularly prepare marinades, meat recipes or other dishes requiring whole cloves.
For commercial operators building house spice blends, marinades or recurring menu recipes, the larger package helps keep more product on hand while the resealable format supports convenient storage between uses.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
