Christopher Ranch Chopped Garlic in Olive Oil | California-Grown Fresh Garlic | Ready-to-Use, Premium Quality, Gluten-Free | Vegan-Friendly | Pantry Essential | 9 Oz / 255g Jar (Pack of 1)

90% of the garlic in the world comes from China. if you pick up a bulb of garlic in the store and smell it you do not smell garlic. back in the day (yes, i'm old) it would be unheard of to smell a garlic bulb and smell NOTHING. i came across this christopher ranch garlic and thought i'd try it. Mama Mia! It is AMAZING. worth every penny. will be buying more of their garlic and other products.

I received this item today and upon opening the box, I noticed a garlicky odor and was worried that the bottle may have been compromised. I did not see any breakage in the bottle. Today is April 16, 2025 and the best by date is September 2025. I am not comfortable using this product and as this product is non-returnable, I am very disappointed.

I decided this time to buy the chopped this time but actually for cooking the crushed is really nice. I guess it’s just preference at this point. This is the closest to fresh garlic without preservatives. You can buy pricey, but a little goes a long way. I will continue to buy this and forgo my coffee one day.

We have tried several "jarred" garlic for our recipes, but they all had an taste that was strong enough to negatively impact the dish/soup. So, I stopped buying them.While visiting my parents last month in Indiana for Christmas, I was making a salad dressing, which called for garlic. My mom did not have any fresh garlic, but she had a jar of this. I opened the jar to smell it and was immediately thrilled because it smelled so good. This was better than using fresh garlic because it had more flavor and not the bite of fresh garlic. I used it in the salad dressing and it was awesome!My mom had received this from her sister, who lives in Morgan Hill, outside of San Jose, CA. Morgan Hill is very close to Gilroy, which is named the garlic capital of the world. My aunt gave it to my mom a few years ago and it was still perfect. (My mom is in her mid 80's and doesn't cook much any more!)So happy to have found this awesome product!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Have used it in past. Says returnable in description of purchase terms so even with mixed reviews I hoped worth trying.

Works for me whan I need to add garlic. When I try to use fresh garlic, it doesn't stay fresh long because I live alone and don't use it fast enough to keep it from drying out.

Grown and Packaged in the USA. Most garlic is from China. It has no flavor. This product has lots of flavor. Really missed having good garlic. Eating it almost everyday now. Will be buying it again and again.

Whatever was in the jar looked like brown putty. I could not get a refund on it. Didn't dare open it. Christopher Ranch usually has great garlic. Wondered how old it was or if the jar seal failed.
