This French black garlic undergoes a slow and delicate transformation, paying homage to the ancestral techniques of Japan. Each garlic bulb is gently heated at a low temperature in a carefully controlled, high-humidity environment. Over several weeks, the confit garlic naturally matures, developing its distinctive black hue. This 100% natural process requires no additives, preservatives, or artificial colouring, ensuring that the garlic’s purity and nutritional benefits are fully preserved. 

The transformation of raw garlic into black garlic unveils complex flavours. The garlic’s sharpness softens into a delicate sweetness with hints of liquorice, prunes, and caramel undertones. Each clove is infused with a subtle, molasses-like richness, balanced by the earthy, umami essence of aged garlic. The result is a soft, black, and slightly sticky clove that offers a luxurious taste experience, reminiscent of the finest balsamic vinegar and dried fruits. This 2-bulb pack is ideal for both home cooks and professional chefs looking to infuse their dishes with a taste of timeless culinary tradition. It can be enjoyed in countless ways: raw like a tapenade or cooked with your meat and fish dishes.  

French Black Garlic is not only a gourmet delight but also packed with health benefits, thanks to its natural antioxidant properties, it is high in potassium and phosphorus.
