33rd Annual Gilroy Garlic Festival is an aromatic feast for the senses
Gilroy is "a community with a spice for life". One of the most important spice in life is garlic, and lots of it. Since 1979, the Gilroy Garlic Festival has grown from its humble beginnings almost 110 000 visitors attending this year. If you are a beginner or "seasoned" veteran, the festival will make your jaw drop to the famous Gourmet Alley for cooking demos galore sellers. The weather was hot and I commend the volunteer staff to provide water while customers were waiting in lines as long as food to keep everyone hydrated. The festivities and food will keep your mind off the heat, guaranteed!
The 2011 Great Garlic Cook-Off was sponsored by Scope and debuted their new product, Dual-Blast mouthwash, featuring a unique dual-action technology that not only kills bad breath germs, but also blasts away strong food odors, like garlic and onion. Seems like the perfect sponsor for this festival, right! They even had a booth set up with sinks to try out their new product after eating one of the strongest smelling and tasting foods on the planet. Every guest walked away with a travel-size bottle and the staff was on hand to educate people on what causes bad breath. Visit their website for more information: http://www.scopemouthwash.com/
Gilroy Foods sponsored the Free Garlic Ice Cream booth. That’s right, I said, “Garlic Ice Cream”. It’s actually pretty good. The ice cream is soft-serve and has a nice creamy, sweet vanilla flavor. But as you savor in the sweetness, the garlic flavor sneaks up and hits you right on the back of your tongue. It’s subtle but definitely wakes up your senses. Thumbs up! They also had a booth on garlic braiding and how to grow garlic in your own garden. They load you up with a bulb of garlic and planting instructions. The folks there were very helpful and even had hydroponic vials demonstrating how they grow the garlic in the factory. Visit their website to see their array of products: http://www.gilroyfoodsandflavors.com/gilroyfoods/index.jsp
Christopher Ranch supplied 2 tons of fresh garlic that was used at the event in everything from the cooking demos to the Gourmet Alley. You can smell the garlic from miles around and it is amazing! In 1956, Don Christopher decided to change from plum and prune crops to something truly different, garlic. This launched his garlic legacy. He later went on to co-found the Gilroy Garlic Festival and the rest is history. Christopher Ranch has a wide range of products from fresh braided garlic to pickled garlic.
