Garlic ClusterGreetings! 

 

It's GARLIC MONTH!

 

A great reason for us to give thanks for the "Stinking Rose" as it is referred to throughout history. I also offer huge thanks to my Mom for having raised her 5 boys with the language of Garlic (the Polish in her gave us all a deep culinary appreciation)! And, being as our Roasted Garlic Culinary Oil was Extravagonzo's original product, our gratitude for this robust and healthful herb runs deep.

 

Can you say garlic?  Or at least type it?

 

To celebrate Garlic Month, we are offering an extra $1.00 off EACH bottle of 375 mL Roasted Garlic Culinary Olive Oil (over and above our normal multiple bottle discounts). All you need do is purchase all you want and type in the word garlic in the coupon code field on the order page. Get some while they're HOT!

A Few Things About Garlic 

 

History shows that garlic dates back to 4,000 BC and is native to Central Asia.It was socially frowned upon in the United States until the first quarter of the twentieth century.

 

Slang of the 1920's referred to garlic as Bronx vanilla, halitosis, and Italian perfume.
 

Garlic has long been considered an herbal wonder drug. Studies have shown garlic can:

  • control acne,
  • suppress the growth of tumors, and
  • is a potent antioxidant good for cardiovascular health.

 

Garlic ClusterAmericans now consume more than 250 million pounds of garlic annually.

 

Other studies show garlic can reduce LDL or "bad" cholesterol and is a good blood-thinning agent to avoid blood clots that could lead to heart attack or stroke.
