Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Curry Leaf, a bustling Indian takeaway in Bristol, was struggling with the inconsistency and labour cost of prepping fresh garlic daily for their base sauces.
"We switched to the Cooks & Co chopped garlic and haven't looked back. The flavour is spot-on, and my team can now focus on cooking, not chopping. It has truly streamlined our entire morning prep routine."
Ravi Mehta – Head Chef
The kitchen now saves over an hour of prep labour each day, improving workflow and consistency across all their dishes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Storage
- Upon opening, give the contents a good stir to evenly distribute the oil and garlic.
- Always use a clean, dry spoon to scoop out the garlic to prevent contamination.
- Store in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cupboard before opening.
- Once opened, ensure the lid is tightly sealed and refrigerate to maintain maximum freshness.
Getting the Best Results
- A little goes a long way! Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Remember the oil is also infused with flavour, so you can use it in dressings or for sautéing.
- For a milder flavour, add it early in the cooking process; for a stronger punch, add it towards the end.

Ever wondered why preserving garlic in oil is so effective? It’s not just about convenience. The oil acts as a natural barrier, locking in the pungent flavour compounds of the garlic and preventing them from oxidising or fading over time. Think of it like a protective blanket that keeps the garlic 'asleep' until you're ready to use it. This means the last spoonful from this bulk garlic in oil jar is just as punchy and aromatic as the first, giving you incredible consistency that’s nearly impossible to achieve with fresh cloves that can vary in age and intensity.
