Black Garlic
Discover its unique properties, mild flavor, natural aging process, and versatile everyday culinary uses.
Black garlic is crafted from whole bulbs of fresh garlic subjected to a weeks-long aging process under strictly controlled temperature and humidity. During this natural transformation, the cloves darken, soften, and develop a gentle, subtly sweet flavor.

Fresh garlic
Sharp, pungent, and intense in aroma. Often requires cooking or careful dosing in meals.
Black garlic
Soft, mild, and subtly sweet. Ready to eat straight away, without the sharpness typical of fresh garlic.
Black garlic is the result of long-term aging of whole garlic bulbs under controlled conditions. This process takes place without additives and relies solely on time, temperature, and natural transformations of its components.
Throughout this process, not only the color changes, but also the texture and taste — garlic becomes tender, slightly sweet, and completely free of the harsh pungency of raw garlic.
It is not an artificial new invention, but an evolved form of a culinary staple known for centuries, achieved through patient aging.
How black garlic
is made
The creation of black garlic relies on time, temperature, and controlled aging conditions. It is during this period that natural transformations occur, shaping the flavor, texture, color, and nutritional composition.
Garlic is never artificially colored or seasoned. Its dark hue, jelly-like texture, and gentle, subtly sweet flavor are solely the result of slow, natural changes during aging.
TIME
Aging takes from several weeks up to a few months. During this period, the compounds within garlic gradually transform.
TEMPERATURE
A steady, controlled temperature allows the slow maturation to occur naturally without any additives or preservatives.
TRANSFORMATION
Throughout aging, not only the color changes, but also flavor and texture — garlic becomes soft, mild, and pleasantly sweet.
FINAL RESULT
A unique product with distinct qualities compared to raw garlic, easier to digest and ideal for regular enjoyment.
Black garlic
tradition and history
Slow aging and maturation of food is by no means a modern invention.
Garlic held a special place across traditional culinary cultures — present both in daily meals and in trusted domestic remedies to support vitality.
Black garlic follows this same philosophy: it is born not of artificial additives, but of a patient process that has formed the foundation of artisanal food preparation for generations.
