Wow is the first word that pops to mind when I twisted off the cap of my fresh bottle of Garlic Gold® Oil! It is really hard to impress this family with anything ‘foodie’ related. We are avid chefs and spend a LOT of time in our kitchen. Unlike the ‘new’ traditional American family, we cook about 95% of our meals at home. We do this for a few reasons, the least of which is that we really enjoy good, healthy, sustainable food products and we’re vegetarian. This makes eating out a tad difficult, in spite of all the supposed ‘killer’ establishments, we don’t really care for ‘bacon’ in everything, nor do we think your gorgeous artichoke and mushroom risotto should have a ‘veal’ stock base! It makes it hard not to sound like a total psycho when ordering in a restaurant. “Is there any meat, at all, in it?” <-- me. You would be surprised to find that upon returning from their kitchen, that supposed vegetarian looking dish will definitely HURT our tummy’s a few hours later. I can taste it though, the minute it hits my palette. If there is meat in it -the fat from the meat hits the roof of my mouth like swathing butter across it! And the flavor is so incredibly intense – well, you get the picture as I digress away…. the point is, we canna trust that others will prepare the best things for us to eat. So we do that for ourselves. This allows us to purchase the most local and sustainable products and consume them quickly, thus enjoying all their nutritional goodness.
So, Garlic Gold® had me at first sniff… well, maybe they had me at ‘organic and garlic’ together on the oil! All organic, natural pure goodness in a recyclable glass bottle of golden liquid. I was sent an 8.44 fl. ounces (250 ml) bottle of the Garlic Gold® and a couple bonus packets of ‘Garlic Gold® Italian Herb Nuggets‘, toasted garlic with Italian style herbs and another packet of ‘Garlic Gold® Nuggets‘, plain toasted garlic, though I must say using the word ‘plain’ to describe anything coming out of and from Seven Oaks Ranch in Ojai, CA. (And I know what you must be thinking – but come on, you KNOW me better than that, I am not a word mincer or gusher!) Oh and yeah, I’ve got photos! You’ll find them below, along with a recipe or two!
Chef Emeril Lagasse says, “Now I understand the raves for Garlic Gold®, an organic garlic from Seven Oaks Ranch in Ojai, CA. Garlic Gold® is a delicious combination of organic toasted garlic pieces and organic extra-virgin olive oil.”
Upon opening the bottle of Garlic Gold®, I was greeted with a rich garlic-ly scent! When I was cooking with it, my kitchen smelled absolutely INCREDIBLE! This stuff is ridiculous and I half wonder if it has some kind of magic drug in it… yeah, it is THAT good! I’m not ashamed to admit we managed to decimate that bottle in a day or two! Between preparing one of our favorite dishes with the golden goodness, exclusively, (and now my family won’t want it any other way, thank you very much!), dipping our delicious home made artisan bread in it and drizzling it over everything savory, because it only takes a bite for the addiction to kick in, it was 1/2 gone! Then the following morning showed up and it went into our eggs too! Wow, again. Unless you don’t actually ‘LIKE’ garlic or EVOO there is simply no way to avoid it.
Our family gives Garlic Gold® five stars, all the way to the pantry, and not to sound too smug, but Garlic Gold® and I have a lot in common… we both know how to make a dish taste great!
Garlic Gold® Oil is available in an 8.44 fl oz bottle for $9.95, as well as a quart size bottle that retails for $29.95. If you purchase a case you get 20% off – Garlic Gold® Oil it’s only $47.76, oh, AND shipping is free over $45.00! I’ve already ordered a case for us. Personally, I’d rather do a case of six bottles vs the quart so the oil stays fresh and I can share a bottle with friends, if we can part with it! I also know what we’re sending this holiday season, all wrapped up because they give you so many delicious options – vinaigrettes to full on gift boxes! Their Garlic Gold® gift box has everything you need for the gourmet garlic experience! Box contains: one bottle of Garlic Gold® Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette (250ml), one bottle of Garlic Gold® Oil (250ml), one bottle of Garlic Gold® Sea Salt Nuggets (2.3oz), and one jar of Garlic Gold® (our crunchy garlic nuggets in extra virgin olive oil-3.75oz). Also included is a pour spout. (That sounds handy!)
Our versatile vinaigrettes add great taste to salads; try it drizzled on a seafood salad, or tossed into a chopped salad. Shake it on steamed or grilled veggies, and try it as a marinade for chicken and fish.
Bottom line is this. Garlic Gold offers you an amzing taste sensation without the work of garlicing up your hands. We’ve now been through several bottles including Rinaldo’s garlic bits and bits in oil! Delicious!! Get some, NOW!
