McCormick Gourmet Whole Cloves

McCormick & Company, Inc. is a global leader in flavor, spice, and seasoning production. Founded in 1889 in Baltimore, Maryland, by Willoughby M. McCormick, the brand originally began by selling root beer extract, fruit syrups, and juices door-to-door. Over the following century, it evolved into the world's largest spice company.

Today, McCormick Gourmet is a premium line under the McCormick brand. While the company is headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland, USA, its sourcing and manufacturing footprint is global. Spices like cloves are typically sourced from tropical regions such as Madagascar, Indonesia, or Tanzania, and processed or packaged in facilities located in the United States, Canada, or other regional hubs depending on the specific market of sale. McCormick remains an independent, publicly traded company (NYSE: MKC) and operates various subsidiaries globally to manage distribution and production.
