It’s time to rethink your grazing game and elevate your board from average to artisan.
Add a touch of black garlic for subtle notes of fig, molasses, and caramel, with a soft, spreadable texture that pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses, cured meats, and crusty bread. Here are some delicious ideas:
1. Cheese Board Heaven
Black garlic works beautifully with a wide range of cheeses:
Brie or Camembert – the creamy richness meets its match in black garlic’s tangy sweetness.
Mature Cheddar – sharp and savoury, especially with a dollop of The Original Black Garlic Paste.
Goat’s Cheese – tangy and earthy, paired with whole cloves of black garlic.
2. Butter Boards with a Twist
Spread soft butter over a wooden board and swirl in The Original Black Garlic Paste for a show-stopping centrepiece. Add sea salt flakes, crushed walnuts, herbs or a touch of honey. Serve with warm bread.
3. Charcuterie Companions
Salami, prosciutto, bresaola, and chorizo all shine when paired with black garlic. It enhances their cured, salty flavours with a mellow complexity.
Try mixing The Original Black Garlic Paste with olive oil for a delicious dipping sauce.
Spread it on crackers beneath slices of cured meat.
Add The Original Black Garlic Peeled Cloves for a sweet-savoury nibble.
4. Finishing Touches
Don't forget the extras – olives, roasted nuts, figs, dried fruits, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and crackers. And yes, black garlic pairs with all of them.
