Black Garlic: A Touch of Health

Not only delicious, but also healthy because black garlic is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help strengthen the immune system, regulate blood pressure, and improve digestion. So it is a true ally for our body's well-being as well as a friend in the kitchen preparations.

Where Does Black Garlic Come From?

The origins of black garlic are shrouded in mystery: it is thought that its discovery occurred in Asia thousands of years ago, where it was used for its medicinal properties.
In the West, black garlic with its benefits has only recently made its appearance, but it is quickly winning the palates of chefs and gourmets.

How is Black Garlic Obtained?

Black garlic is obtained from the natural fermentation of white garlic.
The bulbs are placed in a warm and humid environment for a period of about 40 days, and during this process, the garlic undergoes a series of chemical reactions that change its color, texture, and flavor to the point where it can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from appetizers to desserts. It is also perfect for enriching first courses, second courses, sauces, and dressings as well as being used as an ingredient to make spreads, pâtés, and preserves.
