Badia Minced Garlic in Olive Oil 16 oz Pack of 2

Two jars of Badia minced garlic in olive oil — because anyone who cooks Cuban food at home knows one jar lasts about a month, and running out mid-sofrito is its own small tragedy.

Each jar holds 16 ounces of fresh minced garlic suspended in olive oil. The pack of two is the format for households where garlic goes into nearly every dinner: a spoonful for the sofrito, another for the marinade, another stirred into the beans at the end. Keep one in the fridge, one in the pantry until needed.

Common Uses: sofrito for moros y cristianos, mojo criollo for yuca and pollo asado, marinades for grilled steak and chicken, camarones al ajillo, ropa vieja, picadillo, and the daily round of frijoles negros.

Pantry Role: sofrito starter, brine/marinade base, pantry staple.

Common In: Cuban-American households nationwide, Spanish and Caribbean home kitchens, and any cook who batch-marinates chicken on Sundays for the week ahead.

Cultural Context: Buying garlic in pairs is a tell — it marks the household where Cuban cooking isn't a Sunday event but the everyday default. The jarred form is what makes that pace sustainable for the working generation of the diaspora, the ones cooking arroz con pollo on a Tuesday after picking the kids up from practice.

Pairs With: Badia comino, oregano, bay leaves, naranja agria, Spanish olive oil, sazón completa.

Ships nationwide — stock the second jar before the first one runs out.
