A fuller tomato flavour with garlic already worked in
Garlic Sun-Dried Tomato is a ready-to-use preserve made from sun-dried tomatoes blended with garlic for a deeper, more savoury flavour. It works well when you want the tomato base to carry more weight in a dish, without having to chop and roast extra garlic every time. The texture is spoonable and fine enough to spread, stir through or loosen into a sauce.
We make this range in Paarl, Western Cape, using produce sourced from local farms where possible. Orders go out by courier to Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Gqeberha, as well as Stellenbosch and Somerset West. For home cooks, caterers and gift buyers, it is a practical pantry item that keeps well and is easy to use in small or larger batches.
Sizes and pack options for home kitchens and bulk use
We offer Garlic Sun-Dried Tomato in sizes suited to different uses, from weekly cooking at home to hospitality and gifting. If you are putting together hampers, stocking a deli shelf or ordering for an event, it helps to choose the pack that matches your turnover and storage space.
- Standard jar size for home use and gifting
- Trade and bulk options for food service, stockists and event orders
- Gift box and hamper pairing options with other preserve varieties
- Seasonal and subscription ordering for repeat supply
If you are ordering for a business in Paarl or Cape Town, or sending gifts to family in Johannesburg, it is worth checking lead times before peak periods such as year-end, wedding season and long weekends. Smaller kitchens may prefer mixed packs so they can test the product in more than one recipe before committing to larger quantities.
Ways to use it in everyday cooking
This preserve suits simple meals as well as more prepared dishes. It can be spread on toast, stirred into pasta, folded through rice dishes or used as a base for savoury tart fillings. It also works as a topping for grilled vegetables, chicken, fish or halloumi, depending on the meal you are planning.
- Mix with olive oil for a quick pasta sauce
- Stir into mayonnaise or yoghurt-style dips for sandwiches and platters
- Spread under cheese on toasties or flatbreads
- Use as a flavour base for quiches, savoury muffins or savoury tarts
- Spoon over braaied veg or grilled meats before serving
For catering and hospitality, it gives a consistent flavour note without needing a separate garlic prep step every service. It is also handy for load-shedding cooking, because you can build a meal with minimal equipment and still get a finished result with proper flavour.
Storage, handling and kitchen setup
There are no special installation, power or gas needs for this product. Keep the jar sealed until needed, then store it as directed on the label after opening. In warm kitchens, especially in coastal areas like Durban or Gqeberha, it is sensible to keep opened jars in a cool place and use clean utensils each time to avoid contamination.
For best handling in a busy kitchen, decant only what you need into a small bowl and return unused stock to cold storage if the label says to refrigerate after opening. Avoid leaving the jar near direct heat from ovens, hotplates or sunlight on a windowsill. In a household fridge or a prep area, make sure the lid closes properly after each use.
- No electricity or gas connection required
- Store unopened jars in a cool, dry pantry
- Use a clean spoon every time
- Keep away from direct heat and moisture
Care, serving and product servicing for repeat orders
Because this is a food product, servicing means taking care of stock rotation, storage and reordering. Check the seal before first use, and if you are buying for a café, deli or hospitality kitchen, rotate older stock first. A jar that has been opened and handled correctly should stay in good condition for regular use, but it should never be left out on the counter for too long in a hot prep area.
For businesses in Pretoria, Stellenbosch or Somerset West, we can help with repeat orders, stockist enquiries and hospitality supply through the enquiry form on our contact page. That makes it easier to keep the same flavour profile going across menus, gift boxes or seasonal hampers. If you are planning wedding favours or corporate gifting, order early so the product can be packed and couriered in time.
- Check seals and expiry dates on arrival
- Keep stock dry and upright during storage
- Use older jars first for good stock rotation
- Place repeat orders before peak event periods
What to check before you order
Before placing an order, think about how you will use the product. A home cook in Paarl may want a few jars for weekly meals, while a hospitality buyer in Johannesburg may need mixed quantities for several outlets. It is also worth checking whether you need single jars, gift boxes, custom hampers or bulk supply, because that affects packing and delivery planning.
When ordering Garlic Sun-Dried Tomato, please confirm the quantity, delivery town, preferred pack style and whether the order is for personal use, gifting or trade. If you are supplying a wedding, event or business, let us know the date and any special packing notes through the enquiry form. That helps us keep things moving and avoids delays with courier handover. For larger orders, allow enough time for packing especially around month-end and holiday periods.
