KIRKLAND SIGNATURE California Garlic, Minced 48 Ounce (581871)

We love garlic in this modest household and manage to fit it in our meals a lot. We normally do not use it at breakfast, but that is only because it does not go well with grits and hog jowl. The other meals get more than their fair share of garlic.We usually buy a bag of 'fresh' garlic, but usually find that it is about as old as those socks standing in the doorway. A friend suggested getting minced garlic in a bottle instead. WOW! That was a wonderful suggestion. We do not have a Costco anywhere near as far as I know, but we have Amazon and who needs any other store.The garlic arrived in its hefty plastic jar and 6 teaspoon fulls were added to the spaghetti sauce. I was in the back dreaming up something inane and out of the kitchen came a delightful fragrance, although not fragile, that filled the entire house. I was astonished that so little garlic could light up an entire house. Even the dogs would not leave the kitchen while they were thinking about what was for dinner. The garlic is good, really good. I have had some for the past 4 days in a row. My dentist will have to wear his mask as will his staffers.

This is very nice garlic. I've used it before. I like a LOT of garlic, this is quick and fills the bill. Also, it's not a chemical soup like a lot of jarred garlic is. My only gripe was the ship. Two large plastic jars in a box with such a little packing that both jars came really beat up. How these didn't leak is totally beyond me. When I open one it's going in a glass container. Amazon....WATCH YOUR PACKING...I've had other items come the same way.

I use a lot of garlic, especially when making sausage.I want CA garlic to make sure that I am not getting imported garlic from China or India.I normally find CA garlic in little boutique containers which I go through too quickly.THis is good quality garlic at a fantastic price. So happy with it.

top came cracked which is a bummer as it’s a huge size and should last a long time.

I use a lot of garlic, but I hate to chop it up, and I hate to dirty the food processor to chop a clove or 2 of garlic. This is a good way to get minced garlic without the fuss. The flavor is good, the mince is fine enough to work in any recipe, and the jar is large enough to last for a while. Try par-boiling green beans, then sauteeing them in butter or olive oil with a teaspoon or 2 of garlic and black pepper. My veggie-averse sons actually enjoy green beans when prepared that way.

Good quality. Most important, it does not come from China. This is from California. I can't get big jars locally from California. All toxic junk from China. Kirkland, I do believe is Costco. We unfortunately do not have a Costco (just Sams Club...yuck!) near us. The price is right on this product. No, it's not as good as freshly chopped and minced garlic, but when you don't feel up to the hassle of the fresh stuff and you want more that the powdered stuff, this is great. P.S. I also source my powdered garlic from California. I do believe it is also Kirkland.

SEAL WAS BROKEN WHEN RECEIVED. WOULD NEVER USE. SHOULD SEND IT BACK.

The minced garlic is a convenience and a very good size if you are one who uses a lot of garlic in your dishes and just don't want to be bothered mashing and slaming the garlic on the cutting boards all the time. I use it in many sauces, dressings, and marinades. I also add a teaspoon or so to side dishes or wherever you would add it to a dish. It is so very aromatic and holds its smell and flavor. It can be purchased in smaller sizes but this is the best value if you use a lot of garlic.
