Try our Black Garlic at these leading Restaurants - Pranzo, Vincenzo's Cucina Vera, Penny's Hill Winery, Magil Estate, RIver Cafe, Red Ochre, Enotecca Cucina, Bistro Dom and Brasserie (Hilton Adelaide) Black Garlic is white Garlic which has been aged under strict patented conditions. Nothing is added to the Garlic apart from heat and time. The Garlic naturally turns black, soft and sweet. The flavours and texture are reminiscent of molasses, fig and raisin with a very subtle undertone of sweet Garlic. This ageing process removes the smell that stays with you when you consume white garlic. The ageing process also naturally increases Garlic's antioxidant count so Black Garlic has all the health benefits of white garlic but nearly double the anti oxidants. http://www.blackgarlic.co.uk/index.asp Priced per punnet (approx 38 grams)

French Summer Truffles (Tubr Astivum)
Available June-mid September
French Black summer truffles are a milder variety of truffle that we stock during the European summer. They have a black outer skin and a creamy, greyish flesh with a mild aroma and mid-range earthy flavour. They are excellent for the truffle 'novice' as a good starting point to experience seeing what truffles are all about - particularly as they tend to be about 1/3 of the price of a winter truffle. This season they have and are selling for $1 per gram or $1000 per kilo.
Available for pick up only from Mushroom Man's Mushroom Shop - Stall 68 Central Market Adelaide.
Available September to October.

Porcini are also great with goats cheese, chicken, game, potatoes, rice, eggs, pasta, rissoto or crusty bread.
Pricing based on $160 per kilo. Priced per 50 grams.
