Foster's Pickled Garlic Cloves

These pickled garlic cloves are a must-try for fans of savory snacks and anyone wanting to elevate their salads or sides with a crisp, full-flavored addition. Their convenience, crunch, and well-crafted taste make them an excellent choice both for solo snacking and as a highlight in vegetable dishes.

Foster’s Pickled Garlic Cloves have completely elevated my cooking game. Straight out of the jar, they’re tangy and flavorful, but where they really shine is when sautéed. Just a few minutes in a hot pan and they mellow out beautifully—soft, slightly sweet, and bursting with rich garlicky goodness. They’re amazing tossed into pastas, on top of grilled veggies, or as a finishing touch for meats. The pickling adds a depth of flavor you just can’t get from raw garlic. I keep a jar on hand at all times now—highly recommend to anyone who loves cooking with garlic.

These pickled garlic cloves are the best I've tried. The seasoning is perfect and the pickling just enough to take the bite out of the raw garlic. I eat these straight out of the jar for health purposes (improved circulation, natural BP reducer) every morning and find them very easy to eat and no resulting digestion/heartburn issues I would normally get with raw cloves. I'll be trying them in a few recipes here in the near future as well.

I'm a huge fan of pickled garlic, but stores around here have stopped carrying it for some reason. I haven't been able to find the brand I used to get and so I rolled the dice on these Foster's. It was a mistake. At first I worried about the seal being broken, as the package smelled of garlic and the color wasn't great (brine is brown, garlic is getting there). One of the jars also seems to be missing some liquid. The jar I opened did seem to be sealed, as the lid had no give before opening but now "pops" when pressed. But I'm still skeptical. The cloves themselves don't look good. The misleading images suggest a nice white clove, but these are grey, brown, and green. All the wrong colors. I know garlic can bruise and still be edible, but it's not a great visual. I tried some cloves, and whether it's a problem with the seal or just overall quality control...it isn't good. The flavor is very sweet and hot, and the garlic is strong in the wrong ways. The texture is mushy, lacking the crunch you'd expect. Even if these are "safe" and not compromised in terms of the seal and packing, I don't think I'll be able to eat and enjoy them. And why take the risk for such an unsatisfactory product? Really disappointed. Should have known better, won't be ordering food on Amazon again. Edit: Foster's reached out with an apology and a full refund on my order following this review, which I greatly appreciate. I won't change the contents of my review, nor did they ask me too. But I thought they deserved to be commended for their customer service in this case.

These are really tasty, perfect amount of red pepper for my taste and crunchy. Packaging was very good. My complaint is that these are very expensive and the jars are not nearly as full of product as they could be. I would think for the price, the jars would be packed full. Other than that, great tasting garlic cloves.

Tasty pickled garlic, has a bit of a bite. The heat isn’t too bad but if you’re new to spice you will want to get the original. I like there’s no titanium dioxide or anything that doesn’t belong in your body. Nice crunch like a pickle. Goes excellent with a meat & cheese board, or alone.

Very tasty just the right amount of spice and pickle flavor. Goes great with just about any food esoecially added to salads. Only thing i noticed the smaller sized garlics are thoroghly pickled and more crunchy. Which i like better. The larger sized are soft in the middle which makes them more like chewing uncooked garlic. Not sure if this is how they are suppose to be. I just prefer if all were thoroughly crisp and crunchy. Overall is very tasty and good flavoring. Very addictive too.

I like pickled garlic that’s still “al dente” but these garlic cloves get close to raw garlic texture and are not salty and savory enough for my preferences (I had other pickled garlic brands that were more to my liking). Personal taste varies and so this may be perfect for you, it just wasn’t for me.
