The tastiest garlic soup!
Garlic is more than just an ingredient: it is the soul of many dishes. Fresh Beemster Garlic gives your garlic soup a rich, mild yet full-bodied flavour you will not soon forget. This exceptional garlic has been lovingly grown since 1986 by the family business Beemster Garlic in the heart of the Beemster region of North Holland.
What makes this garlic so special? It all starts with the exceptional clay soil of the Beemster region, which gives the bulbs their full flavour, firm texture and beautiful white colour. In July, the bulbs are harvested with their distinctive bright-green stalks and processed fresh straight away, preserving the freshness and gentle strength of the young garlic.
Garlic takes centre stage in this soup, but without any harshness. Expect a velvety, warming bowl packed with flavour, in which you can truly taste the quality of this local ingredient. Perfect for a chilly evening, as a dinner starter or simply as comforting food.
"Of course, this soup tastes best with Beemster Garlic!"
