Organic black garlic, whole fermented bulbs from Spain

Product description

Organic black garlic is a gourmet delicacy made from whole fermented bulbs from Spain. Gentle ageing transforms the cloves into a deep black, soft texture reminiscent of dried fruit, ideal as a premium seasoning in Biova’s creative kitchen.

During fermentation under controlled conditions, the original pungency develops into a mild, sweet flavour with a well-balanced profile. This almost odourless black garlic is easy to digest and is supplied by Biova in certified organic quality from carefully selected raw material.

In the kitchen, fermented organic garlic offers countless uses, from hearty braises to refined sauces and dips. It enhances vegetable dishes, risotto, marinades and dressings, as well as modern fusion cuisine and selected desserts.

Origin

The bulbs come from Spain, where sunny sites and a mild climate provide ideal conditions for aromatic garlic. The soils in the growing region are renowned for high-quality vegetable production and form the basis for a consistently premium Biova product.

Cultivation / production / harvest

Organic garlic is grown according to organic standards and harvested at optimum maturity. The whole bulbs are then selected and fermented into soft black garlic over several weeks in a specialised facility at precisely controlled temperature and humidity.

Special features

Fermentation turns fresh garlic into a mild, sweetly aromatic speciality with hardly any noticeable garlic breath. Processing whole bulbs preserves the structure and juiciness of the cloves and makes Biova’s bulk product a practical alternative to powdered versions.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, the size and base aroma of the bulbs vary, which influences the flavour profile of the fermented product. Spanish raw garlic delivers a balanced, aromatic result, while precisely controlled time, temperature and humidity determine the colour, texture and sweetness of the black garlic.

Taste & aroma

Black garlic offers a complex, mildly sweet flavour with notes of dried plums, malt and sugar beet syrup. A hint of balsamic vinegar and liquorice rounds off the profile, while the typical sharp garlic smell recedes into the background, making it easier to use in refined dishes and open kitchens.

Suggested uses

• As an aromatic component in meat and braised dishes, added shortly before the end of cooking.
• To refine sauces, marinades, dips, risotto or vegetable sautés in Biova’s creative kitchen.
• For innovative recipes such as pasta, dressings, fusion cuisine or selected desserts with a sweet-savory note.
