Garlic spread is a fragrant and spicy addition to crispy bread that captivates with its rich flavor. Originating from European cuisine, this sauce combines olive oil, garlic, and spices to create a harmony of warmth and spiciness. The history of such spreads dates back to medieval Europe, where garlic was valued for its health benefits and rich taste. The spread has a deep, slightly spicy flavor thanks to chili flakes and a mix of peppers, while rosemary and cumin add herbal and nutty notes. It is perfect for snacks, spreading on bread or as an accompaniment to meat and vegetable dishes, making any meal more expressive and aromatic.
