Black garlic starts as fresh garlic and is slowly aged under carefully controlled temperature and humidity. During this process, the cloves transform into their characteristic deep black colour and develop a soft, almost caramel-like texture and a rich, complex flavour.
Black garlic contains naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, making antioxidant-rich foods a valuable part of a balanced diet.
Unlike fresh garlic, black garlic has a sweet, savoury and slightly tangy flavour, with notes often described as balsamic, molasses or caramel. The flavour is much milder than raw garlic, making it easy to enjoy on its own or incorporate into everyday cooking.
Black garlic is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it:
The aging process changes the sharp, pungent character of fresh garlic into a soft, sweet and savoury flavour. For people who find raw garlic too strong, black garlic offers a delicious alternative.
Black garlic is not a supplement or a processed flavouring—it is garlic transformed through a natural aging process. Its unique taste and texture make it an exciting ingredient for anyone who enjoys trying something different in the kitchen.
