Algae Cooking Club - Nara's Roasted Garlic Oil

Brand: Algae Cooking Club · Niche: Pantry staples · Category: Food & Drink

A collaboration with Nara Smith, this is a slow-steeped roasted garlic oil built on a base of light, buttery algae oil.

Grab this if you want the depth of roasted garlic without the prep work or the lingering smell on your hands.

Skip unless you're comfortable with a soy-containing pantry staple.
