"Black garlic, did you say?" a conversation we started in 2008 is getting noisier...
Original Black Garlic is still the simplest way to turn an ordinary picnic into the one everyone remembers
Summer is made for simple food. It's too darn hot for any effort or kitchen...
A blanket in the park. Fresh bread. Good cheese. A few salads, dips, olives...the usual?
This summer the best picnics aren't only hot but gourmet. 2026 is the summer of proper high quality dips sandwiches and salads. how? easy! It isn´t about making lots of complicated dishes. It's about taking everyday favourites and giving them one small upgrade that makes people stop, smile and ask...
"Black garlic, did you say?" That's the reaction. The little pause before tucking into the umami magic of the Original Black Garlic. Small addition. extraordinary impact.
The Original Black garlic isn't a spice or a seasoning packed with artificial ingredients. It isn't packed with anything it is simply premium white garlic gently aged with nothing but heat and humidity ( bit like us...here in the UK :-). The result?
Not only do the white cloves turn black but the sharpness disappears and is replaced with a rich, naturally sweet umami flavour, with notes of balsamic, dates and molasses, fig and more... No additives. No preservatives.
No artificial flavourings.
Just garlic – transformed by time.
One ingredient. Endless upgrades.
The beauty of black garlic is that it doesn't ask you to cook differently. Imagine...
Stirring some glossy Original Black Garlic paste into hummus........
Through mayonnaise for burgers
Folded into butter for sourdough
Whipped into feta for all things 2026!
Shaken in a jar for the best salad dressing ( then poured on feta obvs)
Black cloves adding style and substance to a new potato salad
Each takes less than a minute. Yet people notice.
The definition of cool...for the long hot summer.
