Every December the same gifts land on the same desks: a bottle of wine, a tin of biscuits, a box of chocolates that gets passed round the office by lunchtime. They're nice, but nobody remembers who sent them.
This year there's a better option. Black garlic has just been named the 2027 Flavour of the Year by food marketing agency MorganMyers, and half the consumers in their survey said they want to try it next year. Send it now and your clients get next year's flavour before everyone else.
Why black garlic makes a great corporate gift
It's different. Most people have never tried it, so it gets opened, talked about and remembered. That's the whole point of a client gift.
It's on trend. Being named Flavour of 2027 gives you a ready-made story to go with the gift. You're not just sending garlic, you're sending next year's big food trend.
It suits almost everyone. Black garlic is sweet and savoury rather than sharp, so even people who aren't keen on fresh garlic tend to love it. Keen cooks and people who barely cook can both use it.
It gets used. It's not another candle or notebook that goes in a drawer. It goes on the dinner table, and every time it does, they think of you. Black garlic is a kitchen staple.
It travels well. Our products are shelf-stable, so they're easy to post to clients and remote teams wherever they are.
Gift ideas for every person on your list
For the whole team: a jar of black garlic pickle or a pot of black garlic salt. Small, affordable, and easy to use from day one.
For the keen cook: whole bulbs or peeled cloves. This is black garlic in its purest form, ready to slice into pasta, risotto or a add to a cheeseboard.
For the BBQ fan: black garlic ketchup. It's a big step up from the usual bottle and is brilliant with burgers and chips.
For the store-cupboard type: black garlic powder or black garlic paste. One sprinkle or dollop adds depth to soups, stews, rubs and roast vegetables.
For your most important clients: a gift set with several products together.
What is black garlic, anyway?
Black garlic is ordinary white garlic that has been aged slowly with nothing but time, heat and humidity for several weeks. Nothing added, 100% natural. Over that time the cloves turn jet black and go soft, a little like a date. The harsh bite of raw garlic disappears and is replaced by something sweet, mellow and rich, with notes of balsamic, caramel and liquorice and a deep savoury umami finish.
