About Confit garlic

Confit garlic is a culinary preparation where whole garlic cloves are gently simmered in oil, typically olive or a neutral vegetable oil, until tender and caramelized. Originating from French cuisine, "confit" refers to a method of preserving food through slow cooking in fat. The result is a mild, buttery garlic flavor with none of the sharpness found in raw garlic. Nutritionally, confit garlic retains many of the antioxidants and beneficial compounds inherent in garlic, which are known to support immune health and cardiovascular well-being. However, because it's cooked in oil, confit garlic can be high in calories and should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing fat intake. Its rich and versatile flavor makes it a favorite in dips, spreads, and as a complement to savory dishes across various cuisines.
