Black Garlic – Sweet and Umami Flavor – 30 g / 120 g

Black Garlic: sweet, balsamic, and umami flavor

Bembo Black Garlic is an ingredient with a characteristic dark color and a soft, complex flavor. It is obtained through a controlled ripening process of garlic that progressively transforms its color, texture, aroma, and taste.

Compared to traditional garlic, it loses its typical pungent intensity and develops sweet, balsamic, and umami-rich notes, making it particularly interesting in contemporary and gourmet cuisine.

What does Black Garlic taste like?

The flavor of black garlic is very different from that of fresh garlic. It is softer and rounder, with sweet and slightly balsamic notes and a marked umami component.

These characteristics allow it to be used to add depth and complexity to dishes without imparting the typical pungent taste of fresh garlic.

How to use Black Garlic in the kitchen

Black garlic is extremely versatile and can be used to flavor pasta, risottos, meat, fish, vegetables, sauces, creams, and condiments.

It can be incorporated directly into preparations or processed with other ingredients to create sauces and creams with an intense and original flavor.

It is also particularly interesting with cheeses, potatoes, mushrooms, roasted meats, and vegetables, where its sweet and umami notes help to enrich the dish.

Black Garlic for sauces, creams, and condiments

Black garlic is ideal for preparing gourmet sauces and condiments. It can be used to customize mayonnaise, creams, vinaigrettes, and seasonings for pasta and risottos.

Its particular aromatic intensity allows even small quantities to be used to characterize a preparation.

Black Garlic and Traditional Garlic: what is the difference?

Traditional garlic has an intense and pungent aroma. During the ripening process that leads to the formation of black garlic, its color, texture, and aromatic profile change profoundly.

The result is an ingredient with a dark color and a softer, sweeter, and more complex taste, appreciated above all for its ability to add depth and umami to recipes.

How to pair Black Garlic
