SMOKED GARLIC AOC

Origin: France

Season: September - May

This exquisite French smoked garlic undergoes a traditional cold-smoking process using selected hardwoods, infusing each clove with a subtle, aromatic smokiness that transforms ordinary dishes into culinary adventures. The natural caramelisation during smoking enhances the garlic's inherent sweetness while softening its pungency.

These premium smoked garlic bulbs offer complex layers of flavour—sweet, smoky, and mildly garlicky—creating a sophisticated ingredient that adds depth without overwhelming other components. The smoking process also naturally preserves the garlic, extending its shelf life while developing its distinctive amber-tinged cloves. When strung together, these beautiful bulbs make a lovely hanging display in any kitchen, combining functionality with rustic charm.

Use in place of regular garlic in sauces and marinades for an instant flavour upgrade, blend into butter for spectacular garlic bread, or incorporate into mashed potatoes for a subtle smoky note. The mellowed flavour makes it excellent even when used raw in dressings and dips.

Producer: Crafted by artisanal garlic producers in France using time-honoured smoking techniques that have been perfected over generations, resulting in a product that celebrates French culinary traditions.
