When my sister called me to rave over a garlic product she stumbled on at her local grocery, I thought okay, okay, it’s just garlic. So I went on a culinary quest for the product here in New Orleans and after having no luck, talked to the staff at our Whole Foods Market and got them to bring it in. When it arrived, I rushed to the store, then ran home to start cooking. Now I understand the raves for Garlic Gold, an organic garlic from Seven Oaks Ranch in Ojai, California.

Garlic Gold is a delicous combination of organic toasted garlic pieces and organic extra-virgin olive oil. This stunner adds unique flavor and texture to anything from vegetables to chicken, shrimp or beef and if you dare, a savory panna cotta. It’s dynamite in salad dressing and the nuggets are especially tasty as crouton replacements or sprinkled atop a split loaf of crusty bread, slathered in butter - the ultimate in garlic bread.

Garlic Gold comes as garlic nuggets in oil, plain toasted garlic nuggets or garlic-infused oil - each are fabulous. For more information or to order if there’s no gold in your area try www.garlicgold.com.
