Cloves, the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae, are native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. They've been traded and used in cuisine for thousands of years. In fact, during the 17th century, the Dutch sought to control the world's clove production by destroying all the clove trees outside of their colony in Indonesia. However, a Frenchman named Pierre Poivre had other plans. He smuggled clove seedlings out of the Dutch East Indies and planted them on the French-controlled islands of Mauritius and Réunion, thus breaking the Dutch monopoly. So the next time you enjoy a dish with cloves, remember the daring act of botanical espionage that helped spread this spice around the world.
