Organic black garlic, fermented & peeled

Product description

Discover organic garlic in a very special refinement: gently fermented, fully peeled and transformed into deep-black, soft cloves from Spanish cultivation. Several weeks of maturation turn the bulbs into aromatic black garlic with sweet, savoury, balsamic notes.

Thanks to controlled fermentation to Biova standards, the garlic loses much of its typical pungency and becomes noticeably milder. The whole pieces keep their shape yet are soft, easy to slice or purée, and are ideal in bulk format for foodservice and artisan producers.

In the kitchen, fermented organic black garlic opens up a wide range of uses – from sauces and jus to marinades, dips and premium delicatessen recipes. The pre-peeled cloves save prep time, allow precise dosing and add a complex yet gentle seasoning to hot and cold dishes.

Origin

The organic garlic used comes from Spain, where the sunny, dry climate produces aromatic bulbs that ripen evenly. This high-quality raw material is the basis for the well-balanced black garlic that Biova supplies specifically for professional kitchens and fine food manufacturers.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The garlic plants are grown outdoors, harvested at full maturity and gently dried. Whole cloves then undergo fermentation over several weeks at defined temperature and humidity, after which they are peeled, selected and packed as bulk in units of approx. 1.05 kg.

Special features

Unlike fresh garlic, the fermented version is soft, mild and leaves almost no garlic breath. Its colour and creamy texture are created solely by fermentation without additives; the "pieces / whole" grading allows flexible processing, from fine chopping to puréeing, in Biova quality.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, the size, pungency and base aroma of the bulbs vary, which in turn influences the later fermentation profile. Spanish garlic provides a well-balanced aromatic structure which, through batch-wise, controlled fermentation at Biova, delivers consistent results for gastronomy and fine food production.

Taste & aroma

Black garlic offers a complex flavour profile with hints of plum, balsamic vinegar, liquorice, soy sauce and fine caramel. The heat moves into the background, the taste is rounded and sweet-savoury, while the aroma remains subtle and blends unobtrusively into a wide variety of dishes.

Suggested uses

• Refining sauces, jus and marinades in restaurants, catering and gourmet kitchens
• Preparing dips, spreads, aioli variations or pastes with a mild garlic note
