Black garlic is the result of a natural, controlled maturation process that lasts about two months. During this time, the garlic is kept at a constant temperature and humidity, without the addition of additives or preservatives.
The slow enzymatic transformation and natural oxidation profoundly alter its color, flavor, and texture: the segments become soft, dark, and creamy, while the flavor transforms into a surprising balance of sweet, balsamic, and slightly acidic notes, with nuances reminiscent of licorice, caramel, and dried plum.
In addition to being pleasant and delicate on the palate, black garlic is also more digestible than traditional garlic, while maintaining its precious properties.
It can be enjoyed plain, spread on croutons, or added to first and second courses, vegetables, and sauces to add depth and complexity to dishes.
A surprising ingredient, born from the natural and slow transformation of one of the oldest and most precious foods in our cuisine.

Fermented vegetables and condiments
Fermented vegetables are produced through a process of spontaneous fermentation in the presence of salt. The raw materials used are all organic or biodynamic. The salt used is also integral and therefore rich in mineral salts and trace elements and of organic origin.
The presence of spices and herbs gives fermented vegetables not only aromatic characteristics, but also the virtues and benefits possessed by all the ingredients used.
