What is Black Garlic?

Black garlic is whole garlic that has been slowly fermented at low heat over several weeks. This process caramelizes the sugars and transforms the sharp, pungent raw garlic flavor into something entirely different — soft, sweet, complex, and deeply savory with notes of balsamic vinegar, molasses, and tamarind. It’s one of the most sought-after flavors in modern cooking.

Perfect For

• Finishing steaks, burgers, and grilled meats
• Roasted vegetables — especially potatoes, mushrooms, and asparagus
• Salmon, seafood, and fish dishes
• Salad dressings and vinaigrettes
• Dipping olive oil and bread spreads
• Pasta, risotto, and grain dishes
• Gourmet gift baskets for foodies, chefs, and garlic lovers
