Dried wild garlic (ramsons) with sweet, gently spicy, green notes — a year-round alternative when fresh wild garlic is out of season. Stir into risottos, pasta, soups, tarts, and compound butters for an instant lift of spring allium flavour.

£4.50

Wild garlic — also known as bear's garlic or ramsons (Allium ursinum) — is one of the defining flavours of European spring, carpeting woodlands from March through May with its distinctive, pungent green scent. The season is short, and once it flowers the leaves lose their punch. This dried, chopped version solves that problem neatly, preserving the sweet, gently spicy character of the fresh leaves in a form that keeps for months and is ready to use at any time of year.

The flavour is milder and sweeter than conventional garlic, with a green, almost herbaceous quality that makes it more versatile than you might expect. It works wherever you would use fresh wild garlic: stirred into risottos, folded through pasta, scattered over soups, mixed into soft cheese or cream cheese, blended into compound butter, or added to tarts and quiches. It also makes an excellent finishing touch for scrambled eggs, omelettes, and baked potatoes. A small pinch rehydrates quickly in any dish with moisture, releasing its flavour within a minute or two of contact with heat or liquid.

Producer: Terre Exotique, a French spice house founded in 1998 after its founder discovered Penja pepper on a plantation in Cameroon. The company sources directly from growers worldwide and processes at its facility in France, maintaining close relationships with producers to ensure traceability and quality across its range.

Ingredients: Allium ursinum (wild garlic). May contain traces of celery, sesame, mustard, and nuts.

Storage: Ambient. Store in a dry place.

Chopped bear's garlic is dried and ready to use — no preparation needed.

For hot dishes, add directly to risottos, soups, stews, pasta sauces, or tart fillings during the last few minutes of cooking. The dried flakes rehydrate quickly on contact with liquid or steam, releasing their flavour almost immediately. A generous pinch per portion is a good starting point.

For compound butter, blend a teaspoon into softened butter with a pinch of flaky salt. Roll in cling film and chill. Slice rounds onto grilled fish, steak, new potatoes, or fresh bread.

For cream cheese or soft cheese, stir a teaspoon into cream cheese or ricotta and leave for 10–15 minutes to rehydrate before spreading on toast or using as a filling.

For eggs, scatter a pinch into scrambled eggs, omelettes, or frittata just before they finish cooking.

For finishing, sprinkle directly over baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, or grilled asparagus straight from the tin.
