White garlic ⚖
510402
White garlic is a staple ingredient in professional kitchens, selected by Le Delas for its generous bulbs and intense aroma. Characterised by large cloves and a pure white skin, it offers a clean, pungent flavour that is essential for defining the taste profile of many traditional dishes. Its excellent yield and potency make it an economical and efficient ally for large-scale production in restaurants and catering.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Cooking bases: It forms the aromatic base for many stocks, tomato sauces, and marinades for meat and fish. Its strong character allows it to make its mark on stir-fries and stews right from the start of preparation.
► Regional cuisine: Indispensable for making aioli, rouille or snail butter, it provides the necessary kick to balance fats and enhance dishes with character.
► Preparation: For quick cooking, it is best to chop or crush it to release its sulphur compounds. For a more subtle and less pungent flavour, it can be used whole and crushed (‘in its skin') in roasting juices.
► Storage: Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. To preserve the firmness of the bulbs and prevent the growth of mould, it is essential to keep them away from moisture and direct light.
