Chef Tips of the Day✨

Black Garlic.

Black minced garlic is a fermented version of regular garlic that has been aged under controlled heat and humidity, giving it a soft, almost jelly-like texture and a deep black color. This process also mellows the garlic’s pungency, creating a rich, sweet, and umami flavor profile with hints of molasses or balsamic vinegar.

In culinary use, black minced garlic can be added to sauces, marinades, and dressings for an added depth of flavor. It pairs particularly well with meats, fish, vegetables, and even pasta dishes. Chefs often use it to enhance savory dishes, and it’s also popular in Asian and Mediterranean cuisines for its unique, slightly sweet taste. Black garlic is also prized for its potential health benefits, being rich in antioxidants.
