Marius Garlic Confit
Slow-Cooked, Silken Gold
Tasting Notes of the Curator
Marius Garlic Confit is defined by patience. The garlic cloves are cooked slowly until they lose their sharpness and transform into something entirely different—soft, buttery, and subtly sweet. The aroma is warm and inviting, with none of the aggressiveness associated with raw garlic.
On the palate, the cloves are meltingly tender, spreading easily with a spoon or fork. The flavor is rounded and savory, with gentle caramelized notes and a clean finish that lingers without bitterness. There’s depth, but also restraint—this is garlic that enhances rather than dominates. It brings richness and comfort to dishes, adding complexity without overwhelming other ingredients. A quiet essential that rewards those who reach for it often.
