Black Garlic Aglio Nero 60g

How is black garlic produced?
Umami’s Black Garlic is a gourmet product derived from Polesano PDO White Garlic. The brand uses a long maturation process with controlled temperature, ranging from 60 to 77°C (140 to 170°F), and humidity for about a month. No additives, preservatives added.

What does Black Garlic taste like?
White garlic during its maturation loses its strong and spicy flavor, while acquiring a soft texture and a licorice flavor and an umami flavor reminiscent of balsamic vinegar or soy sauce. For these reasons, it can be used to enhance the flavor of meats, fish, cheeses and vegetables.

It is also recommended for people who generally avoid eating traditional white garlic: this particular product prevents the unwanted sensation of garlic flavor in the mouth.

Black garlic can be combined raw in any dish, it can also be used to prepare pasta or risotto. You can create an alternative cream by crushing black garlic cloves and simply adding oil, to use as a condiment or spread on toast or to enrich vegetarian and vegan dishes.
