Storage Instructions Seal for Potency: Cloves have a very strong scent; store them in a glass airtight container to prevent their aroma from affecting other spices. Cool & Dark Place: Store away from moisture and direct sunlight to keep the essential oils from evaporating. Shelf Life: Whole cloves stay potent for about 12–18 months; if they don’t release a strong aroma when squeezed, it’s time to replace them. Fun Facts The “Nail” Spice: The English word “clove” comes from the Latin word clavus, which means “nail,” referring to the spice’s unique shape. Ancient Breath Mint: In ancient China, anyone addressing the Emperor was required to chew on cloves to ensure their breath was sweet. Weight Test: High-quality cloves will float vertically in water (head up); if they sink or float horizontally, they may be old or have had their oils extracted.
