Smoked Garlic String

Smoked Garlic String is a traditional string of smoked garlic – garlic heads smoked over wood for several hours to create a deeply aromatic, mellow and complex alternative to standard garlic. Smoked garlic has a richly nuanced flavour – less harsh than raw garlic, with a gentle sweetness and a distinctive woody, smoky depth. As a result, it is outstanding in any dish where you want garlic’s presence without its sharpness. Furthermore, a string of smoked garlic makes a beautiful and practical kitchen decoration that also stores well.

About Smoked Garlic String

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Smoked Garlic String from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Smoked Garlic String From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Smoked Garlic String

To get the very best from Smoked Garlic String:

• Use exactly as you would standard garlic – the flavour is richer and more mellow.
• Roast whole heads at 180°C for 25 to 30 minutes until completely soft – the smoked flavour intensifies beautifully.
• Furthermore, smoked garlic is outstanding squeezed into a butter, an aioli or a cream sauce for an additional layer of flavour.
• Additionally, slice raw and add to a barbecue marinade, a rub or a slow-cooked braise where the smoky character shines.

Perfect Pairings

Smoked Garlic String pairs beautifully with:

• Good butter and sea salt as the simplest and most revealing preparation
• Grilled meats, sausages, barbecued fish or slow-cooked braises
• A glass of Rioja, Malbec or a smoky Languedoc red alongside
• Aioli, hummus or a smoked cheese for a layered smoky preparation

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place or refrigerate. Root vegetables keep well for several days after delivery. Furthermore, most roots can be peeled in advance and stored in cold water. However, use as soon as possible for the finest flavour and texture. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Smoked Garlic String brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
