Garlic: Flavour in Every Pinch
Garlic is one of the most loved flavours in kitchens around the world. From raw and roasted to wild and black garlic, each variety brings its own taste and texture. Learn how to use garlic in everyday recipes and get the most flavour out of every clove. Our Garlic Lovers’ Gold blend captures the taste of fresh, roasted and wild garlic in a convenient jar. Hand-crafted in Brussels with carefully sourced whole spices, this mix is perfect for garlic bread, grilled meats, roasted veggies, or even a savoury popcorn upgrade.
Garlic has been celebrated in kitchens around the world for centuries, from Mediterranean aioli to Asian stir-fries. Compounds like allicin, which form when you crush or chop a clove, give raw garlic its sharp, punchy bite.
But here’s the catch: many pre-made seasonings lose much of that fresh garlic character during industrial processing. That’s why we created Garlic Lovers’ Gold, a chef-crafted blend that delivers the punch of fresh garlic and the sweetness of roasted garlic, all in one convenient jar.
Wild Garlic: A Seasonal Star
Daslook, or wild garlic, earns its place. Its flavour is robust yet delicate, with onion-like undertones that are softer than a clove of garlic or onion. The tender leaves and buds bring a fresh, green note to any dish.
In spring, wild garlic grows in shady woods across much of Europe, and cooks have long used it in pestos, soups, butters and sauces. That fresh, green character is why we made it a cornerstone of this blend.
Garlic 101: Fresh, Roasted, Wild & Black
Garlic is anything but one-dimensional. Here’s a quick primer on how different forms of garlic bring different flavours:
-
Fresh garlic (raw): Pungent, spicy and sharp, great in dressings, salsas and aioli.
-
Roasted garlic: Slow cooking transforms it into something creamy, sweet, and caramelised.
-
Wild garlic (daslook): Milder, green and fresh, lovely in pesto, soups and butters.
-
Black garlic: Aged at low heat until the cloves turn soft, dark, and sweet, with molasses-like notes and a gentle tang.
Flavour Spotlight
Garlic changes character with every technique. Crushed raw garlic is sharp and fiery, slowly roasted garlic turns mellow and sweet, and garlic gently fried in oil brings a nutty, toasty note. With Garlic Lovers’ Gold, we capture the essence of fresh and roasted garlic, keeping flavour at the forefront.
