Badia Minced Garlic in Olive Oil 8 oz Pack of 2

Badia minced garlic in olive oil is the jar that lives next to the stove in Cuban kitchens where nobody has time to peel six cloves before starting dinner — fresh garlic, already minced, suspended in oil and ready to hit the pan.

Two 8 oz jars of finely minced garlic preserved in olive oil. Spoon directly into a hot pan with oil for the start of a sofrito, or stir into marinades and mojo without the prep work.

Common Uses: sofrito base for picadillo and ropa vieja, camarones al ajillo, yuca con mojo, frijoles negros, moros y cristianos, garlic shrimp over rice.

Pantry Role: sofrito starter, base seasoning.

Common In: Cuban, Spanish, Caribbean, and pan-Latin kitchens; Cuban-American households nationwide that cook from scratch on weeknights.

Cultural Context: Fresh garlic is non-negotiable in Cuban cooking, but the diaspora cook working two jobs needed a shortcut that didn't taste like a shortcut. Jarred minced garlic in oil became the quiet compromise — same flavor, none of the peeling, no garlic powder shame.

Pairs With: Badia comino, Goya sazón, naranja agria, bay leaf, olive oil, yellow onion, green bell pepper.

Shelf-stable, kosher, vegan. Ships nationwide to kitchens that go through garlic faster than they can replace it.
