Aomori Black Garlic

Description

Simply a head of garlic preserved in seawater for two months, tender and exquisite, and excellent for your health. Its taste is so mild that you can eat the cloves as they are – the only risk is becoming addicted. Presented here in a box of five heads from Aomori Prefecture, it’s unbeatable value for money!

Black garlic is a fascinating product that is very different from fresh garlic but retains its nutritional qualities. This is thanks to fermentation, a marvelous process that transforms products without denaturing them, revealing instead all their complexity. Without the need to heat it, the garlic candy in its shell goes from fresh pungency to balsamic aromas, with notes of prune, licorice or caramel.

Completely natural, it is consumed and appreciated in Japan for its many benefits: a recognized antioxidant, it limits cholesterol, protects against cardiovascular disease, promotes blood circulation and reduces high blood pressure, and helps fight fatigue. A true ally for the body, as well as being delicious.

How to use:

Diluted in a little olive oil, black garlic will add a subtle flavor to your fish en papillote and liven up your sautéed potatoes. Its creamy texture blends perfectly with any preparation, sauce or dairy product. The must is to let it melt in a baked Mont d’Or, with a drop of whisky.
