What is spred?

spred is a stoneground, plant-based garlic spread designed to make cooking easier, faster and more flavourful. It’s made in the UK using fresh cold-stoneground garlic and natural ingredients, and it delivers pure, bold garlic flavour without the need for peeling, chopping or burning garlic in the pan.

spred comes in a unique twist-up, refillable dispenser that makes it quick and mess-free to add garlic to garlic bread, roast potatoes, pasta, veg, marinades, BBQ dishes and more.


The idea behind spred

Most garlic products are either inconvenient (fresh garlic), inconsistent (jars/pastes), or unhealthy (traditional garlic butter). spred solves all three by combining:

  • Cold-stoneground garlic for fresh, intense flavour
  • 100% plant-based ingredients – vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free
  • A refillable, low-plastic dispenser that reduces waste
  • Three garlic strengths so you can choose your flavour level

It’s garlic that’s always ready when you are.
