It's carefully chosen, high quality, white garlic that has been expertly aged using nothing but time, heat and humidity. This process transforms the garlic into a sweet, tangy, and umami-rich product with a soft, sticky texture and a dark colour. The aging process not only develops its flavour but also increases its health benefits compared to fresh garlic.

Once aged, it's totally different to raw garlic, offering up a much more mellow taste, but with layers and depth. A sweet and savoury umami flavour with notes of fig, molasses, balsamic, tamarind, caramel, dates, roasted garlic and much more.

Add umami deliciousness to risottos, bolognese, sauces, dips, dressing, marinades and more. Our peeled cloves can be enjoyed straight from the pot as a delicious and nutritious snack. Elevate a cheeseboard and add the paste to cheese and biscuits. For recipe inspiration, please visit our recipes page.

Once aged, black garlic can be kept at ambient temperatures for a very long time. You'll generally find our products have around a 12-month shelf life. Store in a cool dark place and consume by the best before date on the pack. The paste should be stored in the fridge once opened, and again, use by the date on jar.
