Garlic

Garlic is the one flavour almost every cook already trusts, and on a barbecue it works two genuinely different ways — roasted whole it turns soft, sweet and mellow, but rendered into a butter over high heat it stays sharp, savoury and forward. Both belong in a proper rub or finishing sauce, and this shelf carries both styles side by side. It's best basted onto steak in the last minute off the heat, worked into an all-purpose rub for anything hitting a hot grill, or stirred through a sauce for prawns and chicken — garlic burns fast, so timing matters more here than with most flavours.

Start with Boars Night Out's White Lightning Double Garlic Butter for the classic steak baste, Low N Slow Basics' Garlic Goals All Purpose Rub for an everyday all-purpose shaker, or Falksalt's Wild Garlic Sea Salt Flakes as a finishing salt with real roasted garlic worked through every flake.

The real point of difference is restraint — good garlic seasoning is built to support the protein instead of drowning it, and everything on this shelf is designed to season rather than overpower. This is one of the widest garlic ranges in the shop, drawn from dozens of Australian and international makers. Bold, buttery, unmistakably garlic.
