If the words “fresh garlic” make your pulse quicken, Brala’s Best Garlic Spread – designed for fast homemade garlic bread – might just be your new kitchen obsession.
From farmers’ market favorite to reimagined pantry staple, this father-daughter creation is breaking into the national scene via Kickstarter (consider supporting them today).
Whether you’re in Los Angeles hosting an al fresco dinner, in Manhattan prepping for a cocktail hour, or in Aspen winding down after a ski day, this spread promises crisp, golden garlic bread without peeling, chopping, or mixing.
For the global foodie who loves elegance with efficiency, Brala’s Best is a small-batch answer to a big flavor craving.
A Father-Daughter Legacy — and a Love Story for Garlic
The story begins not in a commercial kitchen, but in the home of Paul Brala, who didn’t even taste fresh garlic until age 19.
“That first bite changed everything and…
he became a ‘complete garlic freak.’”
Inspired by neighbors from India and later travels with the Navy, Paul experimented constantly, discovering garlic’s ability to transform even simple bread into a centerpiece.
When his daughter Claire joined the venture, Brala’s Best became more than a product — it became a way to preserve a rare Croatian surname.
“Choosing Brala’s Best felt like the perfect way to keep the Brala name alive and create a new kind of legacy,”
Claire
From Farmers’ Market Fame to Pantry-Ready Perfection
At first, the spread came in deli tubs, sold at farmers’ markets and small stores. But feedback was clear:
-
People weren’t sure how to use it.
-
The packaging implied refrigeration.
-
Canola oil turned off health-conscious buyers.
After 18 months of work with food professionals and designers, Brala’s Best has been rebuilt from the ground up.
What’s New:
-
Made for Garlic Bread – no more guessing its purpose.
-
No Refrigeration Needed – shelf-stable pouches for pantry storage.
-
No Canola Oil – now using high-oleic sunflower oil, rich in heart-healthy fats.
The Fast Homemade Garlic Bread Spread Method
The appeal is in its simplicity:
-
Spread generously on bread — baguette, sourdough, or even sandwich bread.
-
Toast at 375°F until golden and crisp.
-
Enjoy — or elevate with parmesan, chili flakes, or fresh herbs.
Unlike store-bought options that “soak into the bread leaving it soggy,” Brala’s Best creates a crisp, flavorful coating. Fresh garlic is the second ingredient, the texture is creamy, and the ingredient list is clean — no margarine, no mystery oils.
Why Kickstarter — and Why Now
“We have been completely self-funded for the past 7 years,”
Claire notes
Now, they’re seeking $16,300 to fund the first run of the new packaging and earn Non-GMO certification. Backer rewards range from Instagram “Close Friends” access to engraved walnut cutting boards, embroidered aprons, and, of course, garlic spread.
The campaign also offers a stretch goal: if they hit $25,000, backers will vote on the next flavor — options like roasted garlic + rosemary, chili crisp, or lemon & herb.
Upscale Appeal in Global Cities
The charm of Brala’s Best lies in its versatility:
-
Los Angeles: Serve with rustic sourdough and a chilled Chardonnay.
-
Manhattan: Pair with oysters and champagne at a penthouse soirée.
-
Aspen: Après-ski comfort food that’s ready in minutes.
-
Hong Kong: Fusion plates that blend East-West flavors effortlessly.
