I'm addicted to this, I'm asking everyone to get me 2 for Christmas, so I'm hoping to have a whole shelf on in my kitchen stocked with this alone. The smell & flavors remind me so much of my Lola's cooking. For those who think there's not too pungent of a garlic aroma, just add some to your recipe. I've been just using this for my stir fried rice, bam-i, vegies, etc..whoa. This will become a staple in your kitchen!
