Mediterranean Garlic Dip & Spread 12 oz - Toum (1)

I used to buy this at my local Kroger but when I moved to a different state they didn’t carry it anymore. Enter Amazon! I use this in cooking instead of a dip. The texture is awesome, mixes into everything from eggs to queso and pasta beautifully. No bitter aftertaste. Buy it, it’s delicious if you’re a garlic lover like me.

This was about as authentic of a middle eastern garlic sauce you can find over the counter. It was a bit too lemony, but otherwise fantastic. Just enough of a garlic taste that won’t overwhelm you, yet is perfect for dipping pita bread or using it on grilled chicken breast.

Wish I had taken a packaging image. This item comes a glass bottle and it was perfectly packaged but not wasteful with their packaging. So it’s an average size condiment jar think pickles or something similar, it sealed tightly with a safety imprinted seal around the ring, the label was as I know it to be and just as imaged on amazon listing, bottle was clean and didn’t look like it was sitting in a dirty warehouse as often happens with food products I have noticed, it was then wrapped in a foil bubble wrapped no excess tape to deal with and placed in a appropriate sized boxed on its own. It was flawless and arrived as indicated like 1 or maybe 2 days tops. Received yesterday, already used today and flavor is perfect. Color is right on for this product and expiration date is clearly noted another issue I have had with other food products sold on Amazon by other sellers. Condiments do expire Amazon. I am from Chicago and can find this product locally but Amazon beat the local price for a larger bottle and the convenience of home delivery why not! This can be used for amazing garlic bread, chicken shawarma and pretty much anything that requires garlic. It can be used cold or heated. My family uses it in Cuban recipes that require excessive amounts of garlic like a Cuban Mojo for roast pork or as a dipping sauces for fried bananas or Yuca a root vegetable. Order it if you know how to work with garlic, note this is a seasoned SPREAD not a basic garlic paste. A little goes a very long way. Not for a touch of garlic recipes - fair warning. Order and enjoy!

It’s a little sweet on its own but you know you got this for fries and sandwiches.

It has a wonderful flavor. Mix this with mayo and you have a great dip for grilled chicken, vegetables or on a hamburger.

I may be spoiled with all the Lebanese restaurants close by, but this stuff is just awful. It doesn't taste like garlic and doesn't taste like what it should. I thought I'd try something online instead of from a local store and it was a bad choice. I threw it out.

I wanted to love this because making toum is a pain. This one tastes way too much like the mayo in my fridge.

There are no middle eastern or lebanese restaurants by me, unless I want to drive over an hour, and I was craving the garlic sauce. I'm thrilled to have found this. It has that restaurant quality taste and exceeded my expectations. I made grilled chicken tawook, rice and had this garlic sauce with it. It tasted like I bought dinner from a middle eastern restaurant! So good and I would definitely recommend!
