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)
