Cypress Ridge Australian Crushed Garlic 200g

Fresh. Punchy. Ready when you are.

This is the jar you reach for when dinner needs real garlic flavour, but peeling and chopping another clove is one job too many.

If you have ever added spoonful after spoonful of jarred garlic and still wondered where the flavour went, this is something different. Cypress Ridge begins with fresh Australian garlic bulbs that are picked and crushed, giving you the convenience of ready-to-use garlic with a much fresher, fuller flavour.

It comes packed with punch, so you need only a little to get your cooking moving.

Why it earns a spot in the Underground Chef pantry

Because convenience should not mean giving up flavour.

Fresh garlic is wonderful, but it is not always convenient. Bulbs sprout, cloves dry out, skins stick to your fingers and some nights you simply want to get dinner underway. This gives you a flavourful head start without reaching for a weak garlic paste that disappears into the finished dish.

The Cypress Ridge family found they needed only around one-quarter of the amount of ordinary minced garlic they had previously used in their own recipes. That makes this 200g jar a small but hardworking pantry staple.

One jar, plenty of jobs:

• Sauce starter
• Curry and stir-fry base
• Marinade booster
• Garlic butter shortcut
• Roast vegetable flavour

Flavour Profile

Fresh, savoury and distinctly garlicky, with the natural punch you expect when a garlic clove is freshly crushed.

Used raw, it brings a stronger, sharper garlic character to dressings, dips and marinades. Once cooked, the flavour softens and becomes sweeter and more rounded, making it useful across an enormous range of dishes.

How to Use It

Start a Sauce, Soup or Curry

• Add a small amount after your onions have softened, then cook briefly until aromatic.
• Use it in tomato-based pasta sauces, casseroles, soups, curries and braises.

Stir-Fries & Quick Pan Meals

• Add it to the wok with ginger, chilli or spring onion for a fast flavour base.
• Stir it through mushrooms, greens, prawns, chicken or beef.

Marinades & Dressings

• Combine with olive oil, lemon juice and herbs for chicken, lamb or vegetables.
• Add a small amount to yoghurt dressings, vinaigrettes, mayonnaise or dipping sauces.

Garlic Butter & Everyday Sides

• Mix through softened butter for garlic bread, steak, seafood or vegetables.
• Stir into mashed potato, roast vegetables or steamed greens.

Roasting & Barbecue Cooking

• Blend with oil and herbs before coating potatoes, pumpkin, carrots or cauliflower.
• Add it to a barbecue marinade or rub mixture for an easy savoury backbone.

Perfect for:

• Busy weeknight cooking
• Recipes needing a quick flavour base
• Anyone tired of peeling and chopping garlic
• Reducing wasted or sprouting garlic bulbs
• Marinades, sauces, curries and stir-fries
• Home cooks who want convenience without losing flavour

Chef Ian’s Tip

This garlic is concentrated, so begin with considerably less than you would normally use—around one-quarter of your usual amount is a useful starting point. Taste the dish as it develops and add more only if needed.

When sautéing, do not add crushed garlic to smoking-hot oil and leave it to brown. Add it after the onions or other vegetables have softened, cook only until aromatic, then introduce your liquid or next ingredient. Burnt garlic will make the whole dish taste bitter.
